"Sir, please take them." Sarah said stretching the gifts towards Dave "You can keep the gifts, Sarah. I apologize for any intrusion." With that, he left the office. Sarah, feeling torn between her loyalty to Juliet and her sympathy for Dave, returned to Juliet's side, stammering, "Ma'am, what do I do now?" "Didn't you hear what your bestie said? Keep the gifts but please leave my sight!" "Okay ma'm" Sarah said and quickly stormed off.

She recognized that she still had lingering feelings for David, but she understood the importance of not letting her guard down and making sure she maintained her emotional boundaries.
