SABLE
“Now… Can you tell me what’s happening?” I asked, breaking the hug.
Alaric pulled back slowly, his hands resting on my shoulders, and my eyes widened when I noticed the bruises on his lips.
“The person who ran out of your office,” I started carefully. “Did you find out who it was?”
He shut his eyes briefly before moving away from me. “I didn’t.”
Why did his voice sound so hurt, as though he was hiding something?
“You can go home. I’ll handle the case with Davison and Helen.” He stopped at the door and turned to me. “You shouldn’t be stressing yourself too much at work. I hope your head didn’t hit the floor.”
I shook my head. “I’m perfectly fine.”
You are the one who said there shouldn’t be any sense of familiarity between us. Only professionalism.
A small smile spread across
