“I’M SO SORRY, Beth,” Sam’s voice quavered.

“You have nothing to apologize for,” Beth told her, taking a seat on the suite’s couch beside her. Dwight remained standing, his arms folded, his expression troubled.

“But I left the press conference and…”

“Of course you did. I just can’t believe JR.” Beth fumed.

“You both need to stop looking at me like you think I’m going to break,” she said, trying to infuse her features with a steadiness she didn’t really feel. “Really, I’m ready to go back to work now. I’m feeling much better.” She started to get up, but Beth put a hand on her shoulder.

“No,” Beth admonished. “I want you to stay up here for a while. There’s really no reason to go back, anyway. The press conference is over.” Her phone pinged with an incoming message. She glanced down for a moment, her lips moving as she read the message. She returned her gaze to Sam. “It’s Mary. Things are still real tense downstairs.”

Sam cringed.

“Relax. No one who knows you believes a word of what JR said.” Beth gave her a reassuring pat on her hand. “And Mary really cares about you.” She looked at Dwight. “All of you. I know for a fact she would crawl over broken glass to come to your aid, if any of you were in trouble.”

“I’d better get back down there,” Dwight said with resignation. “Marcus was in the process of ripping JR a new one. I don’t want to leave Avery running interference between those two for too long by herself.”

“Wait, Dwight.” Beth held up her hand. “Did JR give you any indication why he would say such a horrible thing about Sam?”

Tears filled Sam’s eyes again as she remembered the cruel words that had ripped her heart from her chest.

Beth took her hand and squeezed it.

Dwight nodded and gave Sam an apologetic look before he spoke. “He said you slept with Danny last night.”

“What?” Sam exclaimed, scooting forward on the couch. “Danny and me? You’ve got to be kidding.” Her face burned. “That guy gives me the creeps.”

Dwight gave her a tight smile. “I believe you, Sam, but JR seems pretty convinced.” He shrugged. “Do you have any idea how he might have gotten that impression?”

“Wait a minute,” Sam gasped.

“What?” Beth asked. “If you know anything that’ll help clear up this mess, you need to tell me now.”

“I just remembered something. Danny asked me to switch rooms at the B&B. I didn’t think much about it at the time but now…” Her eyes narrowed. “I bet he had something to do with this.”

“Tell me everything you can remember from that night.”

Sam leaned forward and recounted every detail including the fact that she had never retrieved her clothes from the other room.

“Hmmm, I wonder,” Beth said when she finished. She tapped her chin for a moment. “We’ll get to the bottom of this, Sam. Don’t worry.” She stood and leaned over to kiss the top of Sam’s head. “Dwight, let’s go. I want to get downstairs and have a little chat with Danny.
