"Hey." Marleigh smiled, seeing Bailey stood at the nurses station in the pit.
"Hey, uh, what are you doing here?" Bailey asked, surprised to see Marleigh really early in the morning.
"Thought i'd drop by before shift." Marleigh shrugged, following Bailey into a conference room.
"Anything else happened?" Bailey asked.
"No." Marleigh shook her head.
"That's good." Bailey said with a smile.
"It's bad actually." Marleigh said, sitting on a chair with a sigh.
"How? What?" Bailey asked.
"He, uh, sends a letter and pictures then he goes radio silent. I wouldn't see him, he doesn't call, text, show up at my house, no more letters or pictures until..." Marleigh trailed off.
"Until what?" Bailey asked.
"Until the right moment. When he's ready and i'm least expecting it." Marleigh sighed.
"Th-This has happened before?" Bailey asked shocked. "Does anyone know about that?"
"Maya, Meredith and Amelia know a little and Jo knows the whole thing." Marleigh said. "Speaking of, i still have to talk to Maya about it but i don't think i'm ready."
"I don't think you will ever be ready but it will be better to talk about because i'm guessing you haven't spoken to a therapist." Bailey said.
"Oh, believe it or not i actually turned out okay, who would have thought." Marleigh said.
"If it happens again, you won't be fine so just be extra aware of everything and come over after shift with Ben." Bailey said.
"Oh, thanks but i don't think that's wise. I don't want to get you guys involved, i mean, you have Tuck and things could get pretty bad if others are involved or he feels threatened by them which he will." Marleigh said.
"Just call me later and we'll figure something out." Bailey said softly.
"I will." Marleigh smiled.
"And stay safe." Bailey said.
"I'll try." Marleigh said. She couldn't promise that because she never knows what will happen on a call so the best she could do was try.

Marleigh and Vic walked into the barn together, stopping in front of Travis.
"Hey." They greeted him.
"Hey." Travis said back.
"Hey, so i was looking at the new vehicle assignments." Vic said.
"Yes. A finally honed balance. Each individual assignment carefully, purposefully selected." Travis said, proud of himself.
"Right." Marleigh nodded, finding Travis' behaviour weird.
