  “OK,” Helen relented. “It does seem a bit abrupt to leave right now.

  I really need to talk to Dr. Villeponce before we go anyway. I need to try

  to salvage what I can from this research project.”

  “Why didn’t he say anything at the meeting this morning?” Alexa

  asked. Under normal circumstances, Dr. Villeponce was always fawning

  over Helen like a sycophant.22 But in the proceedings this morning, he

  never once spoke a word in support of Helen or Alexa.

  “Oh, he was probably worried about his own job and his stature in

  the company. He’s in the lofty position of running the dolphin facility

  and he doesn’t want to be deposed.23 Some people have the fortitude and

  integrity to stand up for their friends and others don’t,” Helen said cyni-

  cally. In her experience, selfish behavior in the context of a friendship was

  not unprecedented. She was shrugging it off as if it was something she

  had seen before.

  But Alexa couldn’t help but dwell on the notion of spurious24

  friendships—relationships that appear to be true friendships, but when

  they are tested by some sort of external force, buckle under pressure. Was

  that really the nature of her friendship with Laurie? Alexa wondered. She

  felt deeply hurt by Laurie’s actions. From her perspective, Laurie had been

  unduly25 self-serving.

  Alexa consciously decided not to think about Laurie right now. She

  didn’t want to squander26 the precious time she had left at Puerto

  Marino. While she had always known her stay there was transient,27 it

  always seemed like her departure was far off in the nebulous28 future.

  Now, it was imminent.

  22  Sycophant: a servile self-serving flatterer

  23  Deposed: to remove from a throne or other high position

  24  Spurious: outwardly similar or corresponding to something without having its genuine qualities; false

  25  Unduly: in an undue manner; excessively

  26  Squander: to spend extravagantly or foolishly

  27  Transient: passing through or by a place with only a brief stay or sojourn

  28  Nebulous: indistinct, vague
