King of Anything

There's a knock at my office.

"Come in!"  I call.

Callum comes into my office. "Ms. Erin? I had a question."

I look up. "Yes, Callum?"

He licks his lips, ruffling his blonde hair. "I was wondering if you were free. For dinner. For work."

I quirk a brow, looking down. "Why wouldn't you check my employee calendar. It would've told you if I'm free."

"Right. I wanted to ask you. In person. And it's not actually about work." He swallows.

I watch.

A rebound would be nice, right now.

"I know you," he shuts the door behind him, locking it. I glance at it. "And I know what he did."

I rise a brow.

"He?"

"Scar. I know he left you. And I know why. And I know who, Maureen. I've been looking for you."

I nod. "Okay. I'm not understanding, what's happening here, or the nonsense your spouting.
