Suspicious Eyes

Lila

Monday morning, still terribly sleep deprived, but kissed so thoroughly her lips were swollen, Lila got off the elevator into the office. She'd wondered if Dane would share her car again like he had last week. It had been a disappointment when she'd gotten in to find herself alone. But it was probably for the best. She'd been struggling to concentrate already, knowing he was close. Being able to smell him in the car probably would have befuddled her for an hour.

She dropped her things in the office, then headed right for the conference room where Grant and Tonya had apparently been at work all weekend. The room was littered with coffee cups and fast-food boxes. And it smelled a little.

Despite obviously being in yesterday's clothes, Tonya looked fresh as a daisy as she circled the table to greet Lila when she entered.

"I'm so glad you're here early," she said.
