He shrugged one shoulder, and his smile didn’t reach his eyes. “I told Missy I would be late. I’ll have to go in soon, but this, you, are more important.”
“Dylan, I…” but I didn’t know what to say.
“You came to me in the middle of the night, baby. After you said you wanted a night to yourself. I’m not mad or upset about it,” he added when I opened my mouth. “But I’m a bit worried. Did something happen? Are you okay?”
