"Yeah, but---"

"Look, you wanna be the guy to tell him not only is he meeting with his ex-wife, but now he has to meet with---"

Sam sighs as he steps into your line of vision. "Yeah, okay. Good point."

He looks good; his hair is a little shorter than it had been when you saw him last, in law school, but he's well-dressed and in shape and he still has that hopeful expression in his eyes.

You feel your nervous expression melt a little.

Until he looks up.

"Hey, Margaret, is Leo busy?" he asks that question, and then his eyes catch sight of you, sitting in the chair against the wall. "You came."

"Yeah," you say quietly, smiling a bit.

Sam turns and looks at the man he was walking with. "Josh, I'll catch up with you later, okay?"

"Yeah, buddy. Lemme know how it goes."

He turns back to you. You stand up and smile, before finding yourself crushed in a hug.

"It is really good to see you, Anna," he murmurs.

You return the hug and nod. "It's a little weird... it's been a while."

"A long while. Saw the work you did with the FDI," he comments quietly as you pull apart.

"Yeah? What did you think?"

He grinned. "It was great."

You blush a bit. "Thanks."

"Did you find an apartment alright?"

You nod. "Yeah... it's not too far from here. Well, I mean, it kind of is, but it's really not. Anyway, it's furnished and quiet and safe, so---"

"Good," he says, nodding. He shifts his weight. "So, have you met Leo yet?"

"For a second. My meeting got bumped back again."

"That happens a lot here," Sam warns you.

"I can imagine," you reply with a smile.

"Y'know, this shouldn't be so awk---"

When the door opens, you inch back; Nancy's exit surprises you. Sam steps back more gracefully as he greets her. You feel like an idiot, but quickly try to swallow it as Leo steps outside.

"Hi, Leo," Sam says.

"Hey, Sam. Did you want something?"

"Oh, no, I just saw Anna and I wanted to say hi."

"Are you two done?"

Sam looks at you and shrugs a bit before nodding. "Yeah, of course. I have to meet with Plaskett anyway."

"Alright. Anna, would you follow me inside, please?"

You swallow hard again and look at Sam. He offers you a smile and nods.

Do you ask Sam if you can catch up later?
Do you just go inside?
