He stopped reading and looked at her. "Does this mean what I think it does?"

"The university's planning to sell Neema and Gumu," she managed to gasp before she completely fell apart. She suddenly felt dizzy and reached out to grasp his shirt sleeve.

He stepped forward and took her into his arms. She buried her face against his chest. She could feel the heat from his skin beneath his shirt, the muscles of his biceps loosely clasped around her. She smelled his deodorant and sweat. This was insane. Humiliating. She had to pull herself together. Apologize. She raised her chin.

"Detective ..." That was all she managed to get out before she started sobbing again.

Nobody at the university knew her gorillas. Nobody knew that Neema was frightened by the rustle of paper bags, that Gumu adored the color fuchsia. Nobody else remembered how Neema refused to let go of Spencer's cold hand for a whole day after he'd died.

To the university, the gorillas were in the same category as desks and microscopes—surplus equipment. Where would they end up? What the hell was she going to do? She gave way to the horror of it all, sobbing uncontrollably while this stranger stood and held her in his arms.
