You Will Be In A Serious Condition

Iria realized that Arin had paid extra attention to her. They were having breakfast but... all his attention was on her and she could somehow guess the reason.

"You make me uncomfortable," she pointed out. "What's the matter, Arin?"

Arin Helev thought of how she winced in pain before dinner yesterday and his conversation with Elian last night. "Do you have anything to tell me?" he asked her in a calm voice.

"What do you want me to say?" she asked him back.

He already had so many things on his plate and with the missing cases adding to his concern, she didn't want to be the one to add his worry. If he knew about her shoulder, it will only distract him. It won't be good if he lost focus.

Why must it be winter now of all times?!

Arin Helev observed her for a while before he turned back to the dishes. "Never mind," he muttered.

"You will meet with the Investigating Officers today, right?" she asked him, hoping to change the topic.
