It was December the 1st.

The exact day that Murray had his aorta operation.

His wife Sam had just come home from work.

"Hey, Sam!" said Murray with a smile.

"Hi" said Sam sadly.

"What's the matter?" said Murray.

"This is the day you had your operation, hon" said Sam.

"I know. But it's over" said Murray.

"I know that. But it's still scary to think about. Those witches tore out your heart and I almost couldn't save you" said Sam.

"Sam. I'm okay. And I'll be right by your side for this surgery anniversary." said Murray.

"No you won't. I have to go to Actorville" said Sam.

"Oh... well... I'm sure you'll be okay anyway. You know I love you, Sam" said Murray.

"I love you too. I just wish you could be there" said Sam.

"Don't worry, lovely. I'll come visit you if I can" said Murray.

"Please do. Those guys... they wouldn't get it" said Sam.

Murray nodded. 

"Are you sure you'll be okay?" said Murray.

"Yeah. I guess" said Sam.

Murray kissed his wife and said "I'll see you in a few days".

"I'll see you then" said Sam.

Then she left.

Murray sighed and sat on the couch.

"Murray? Are you okay?" said Jeff.

"I'm alright, but Sam isn't. I think my heart operation is still getting to her" said Murray.

"But it's been a while since you had it" said Greg.

"I know. But it was one of the worst things she's ever experienced." said Murray.

"Oh. I hope those actors understand when she tells them" said Anthony.

"I don't think she's gonna tell them. You know Sam. She'd do anything to stay strong and tough" said Murray.

"You said it" said Greg.

"I hope she'll be okay" said Anthony.

"Me too. I love that woman" said Murray.

"We all do" said Jeff.
