My humming faltered

Td overdone it at lunch, and I was still a bit hazy in the afternoon.

He’d let me rest in the office, and when it was almost time to leave, he told me I could home

I thought I wouldn’t see him again today.

I took my shopping bags from the passenger seat and walked toward him

“Mr. Shaw, what are you doing here at this hour?” I stood before him, my tone casual, as if I had simply run into my boss,

my friendliness laced with insincerity.

The light under the tree was dim, but a nearby lamppost illuminated our faces enough.

I smiled brightly.

Xander’s deep, unreadable gaze moved from my face to my bags.

“You’re sober now?”

“I can see that. You sobered up quickly,” he said with a smile.

“I wasn’t really that drunk. I always drink responsibly,”

“It’s late! What do you want? Do you want me to get some rest?”

“Take a walk with me,” he said.

“No! I want to go upstairs, shower, and sleep!”

“Don’t be so angry.”

I wanted to hit him with my shopping bags.

Samder fast the bags from my hands, then took itry hand, rubbing my hand reassuringly.

“Just a short walk, okay?

I calmed down slightly. “Thirty minutes.
