Jim<br/><br/>The voice that came from Bree's body was cracking and raspy as it tried to explain what had happened.  Jim listened dutifully and when the axe fell he gathered Bree back into his body as she was wracked by further tears and heartache.  Jim knew he should be more upset about Ali, but he had seen it coming.  Though it did put a bit of a damper on any future friendship he may have had with her.  No, the only person he felt bad for was Bree.  She seemed to be highly upset with Will and Ali, and Jim could only assume that she had taken a liking to Will.  He guessed he had seen the start of it at the bar that first night, hell, he might have been the one that got the ball rolling.  And now that her best friend screwed him, she thought she had lost both.<br/><br/>"I am so sorry that happened.  I would not have seen that coming."  Jim continued to just hold her until the spasms of sobbing stopped and she started to quiet down a little.  "Look, I know Will is a decent guy, but there are hundred of guys just like him and you could have any one of them.  You are far too beautiful to worry about what one man did.  Ali, on the other hand, you are going to have to deal with.  Not today, not tomorrow, but soon.  If she truly is your friend, you can mend this.  Who knows, maybe she did you a favor by outing Will."<br/><br/>Jim though maybe a beverage would help a little.  "Can I get you a soda, coffee, something stronger?"
