Her arms felt weak.

She raised it above her head, trying to get it to the open slot on the shelf…

It tipped. A few papers spilled out. Then began to fall–

Liam’s hand shot out from behind her, catching it before it slam into her. Elaine flinched, then relaxed as she saw him. He used his height to easily slide the box onto the correct shelf. He didn’t immediately move away, looking down at her as she stood there.

“You alright?”

“Thanks to you,” Elaine replied.

“Don’t mention it.”

He turned to go back to his own section. Elaine took a breath, then followed.

“You need any help?” she asked. “All this stuff is confusing the hell out of me, but I bet two eyes are better than one.”

Liam hesitated a moment, before he nodded and sat back down. She sat next to him, and they began to sort through the next box together.

“This is insane. Why are all of these mixed up like this?” Elaine said, holding up a financial record which had been shoved in there with what looked like a page filled with doodles by a bored receptionist.

Liam almost smiled. “Seems like New Dawn could use some better bookkeeping.”

“This is ridiculous…” Elaine groaned, setting the doodled piece of paper aside while the financial report when in its own pile. “Remind me to fire whoever is in charge of all this.”

“That would be my mom.”

Elaine’s brow rose. “Nancy?”

“Yup.”

“She’s terrible at organizing.”

“Or maybe she did this on purpose,” Liam suggested.

Elaine closed her eyes. Why hadn’t she thought of that before? Of course this was on purpose.

Liam shrugged. “She claims I’ve been sulking recently.”

She glanced sideways at him. “Really?”

“She exagerates.”

Elaine suppressed a laugh. “I’m sure she does.”
