ADRIAN POV. I sat at my desk, staring at the cup of coffee Katherine had left. Her gesture had caught me off guard. I wasn't used to people noticing my moods, let alone trying to comfort me.

She checked in on me a few times, stopping by my office with some excuse about work. I could tell she was worried, but she didn’t push me to talk. She just… cared. And that was enough. Days passed, and with each one, Katheri
