Dan knew you well, so he was not surprised to see you in tears in front of the computer. His time with you had been affected by your new obsession, the SATs. You had decided to take it early and see how you would do. Then you would take it again with the rest of your class. Even though you knew you could retake it, you were freaking out about the upcoming test.

He dropped his coat and bag immediately. He knew you had been having a bad week and it was just bound to happen for you to break. He hurried towards you and attempted to take the laptop away from you. He sighed when you took it before him with a sob.

"I have ten more minutes to finish the last section, please just let me finish it"

He had to bite his tongue not to argue, but he took one look at you and knew what to do. He walked back to the entrance and hung his coat. He sat on the couch and waited patiently for your practice exam to finish. After a few minutes, he heard an increased series of cries and walked back over to you. He pushed the laptop away from your reach and knelt before you.

“Take a deep breath for me, please”
