Now that the fireworks were over, Alex let out the breath he had been holding. It was pretty easy to see when Kacey was on her last nerve, and they were past that point now. Honestly he was kind of proud of her for not completely bashing Des's face in. It was no one person's fault, from what he could see. Something had been getting to Kacey for the past few days, Des had a good reason to talk to her but may have gone about it the wrong way, Kacey over reacted, causing Des to react and making her over react even more, and it was just a vicious cycle that needed to be stopped by a third party. He was very glad when Cin stepped in between them, knowing neither of them would risk hurting her to take a hit at the other. 

For a split second he thought about going after Kacey. He knew what was wrong with her, but he'd already had a discussion about her son a few days prior. Obviously it hadn't done it's job of consoling her, but how exactly did one console a mother who had lost her child? He'd tried to get her to tell Laura about what had happened, knowing her sister would have a better idea of what to say than him, but she had refused to tell her. Alex could only guess why, but he imagined it was because Kacey wanted to forget the whole ordeal had even happened, and telling other people reminded her that it had been real. 

“You alright, mate?” He asked, going up to Des instead. “Somehow I don't think that's the first time you've have a girl slap you.” Alex added jokingly, in an attempt to lighten the mood somewhat.
