Blaine took the steps two at a time as she ran up into the building. The day wasn’t even over, yet she feared something terrible had happened at her foundation. Was someone seriously injured? Another issue with the systems?

Maybe the Administrative Office had stopped by because the paperwork was all wrong…

When she got inside, however, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. It was quiet. Things running smoothly. Here was considerably less foot traffic as there had been this morning, and the evening shift was settled into a peaceful night.

Except Nancy stood there, right beside Liam. He was staring at her as she entered, sighing and looking to kis mother as if Nancy had organized something nefarious.

Elaine stepped forward cautiously. “What’s going on?”

“As you know, we have had that IT mixup this morning. With the systems down and now…” Nancy stepped behind the main desk to pull out a box of papers. “We have a lot of paperwork!”

Elaine raised a brow.

“You two will need to take this box down to the storage room. There’s a few others there you need to sort through and then put into the system,” Nancy said.

Elaine looked between the two of them then down at the box. “I…okay…?”

She was confused as to why it had to be them and not the dozen other employees around the building. But she had taken most of the day to herself. The least she could do was help out a bit now.

Liam didn’t say a word, just grabbed the box, then turned and started walking. This wasn’t going to be very fun… was it? Elaine walked after him, keeping a few paces behind him.

Neither of them said anything.

Now that he was here, she couldn’t seem to find the words, even as much as she’d wanted to talk to him before. Nothing came now.

So they were quiet.
