[It would probably really surprise people who listened to the show, or it would have only been a surprise to them that it hadn't happened already that Alex and Richard had moved in together practically immediately after he'd shown up. After all, she'd just asked him to run away with her for him, and Alex had just realized that she'd actually had feelings for him and then told the entire network about it, even if it was anon. So, after the two of them had spent a fair amount of time just talking, Alex had just gathered up her dog, some clothing and some things she was working on and just made herself at home in the same way that she had made herself at home in his life.
What would probably surprise people more is that they'd decided to do the relationship thing, and the living together thing the two of them hadn't even actually kissed yet, other than the one that Alex had given him when he'd showed up and she expected to be rebuked. But then they'd gone back to his place, and Alex slept probably more in the last twenty-four hours than she had in the last three weeks. Refreshed and actually happy for once, Alex dove into the network to see Tony's post about people getting sick. She immediately offered to help, because Alex Reagan was Alex Reagan, she just assumed that Richard Strand would be okay with it. Like in so many things when it came to him, Alex was about to be proven wrong.]
