Nicol walked over, holding out a glass. Nathalie glanced at where he’d come from and couldn’t help frowning a little.

Nicol just wasn’t the thoughtful type. At the far end of the hallway, she could see Lance, standing with his phone pressed to his ear. He had a glass of water too.

Nathalie looked away, her tone flat. “Thanks, but I’m not thirsty.”
