Morning came like a flash of lightning. I was not expecting to see Nathan that early morning but he surprised me when he came to my room first thing before going to work. Pulling me into a passionate embrace, Nathan regarded me with a warm greeting. I replied vapidly and pushed him him away as i turned my face away from him. I was still upset with him for using me to quench his insecurities the previous evening. "Did I do something to upset you?" Nathan asked ignorantly. "No." I replied and started to walk away but he grabbed my hand and pulled back to him; embracing me so that i could not escape. "That is not what your actions are telling me, Ms. Rayne." Nathan said, looking into my eyes lovingly. I rolled my eyes, turning away from him once again. "We need to talk about Crispin."
