Bedside Vigils

~Elise's POV~

How did she get here? Two weeks ago, she had promised herself that never in a million years would she ever get involved with anyone at the office. Especially not her boss. But now, she was sitting here, sick to her stomach, with worry. Worry for Detective Brian Harper. How was it even possible to fall so undoubtedly in love with someone so quickly?

How was the man that she was unquestionably in love with the same man that was rumoured to be a playboy? Rumoured to be unable to form a serious relationship with a woman.

Elise sat at her desk, staring off into the distance. Her gaze was unfocused. Her heart thundered in her ears; she wrung her hands together. She couldn't understand, it wasn't like she wished anyone in her life harm, but she felt like she was about to be sick. She felt like if Brian didn't return from the park unharmed, she would have a heart attack.
