Lila

When she realized it was after seven and she couldn't do anything else until they had some progress, she walked down to Dane's office—trying to ignore that Josh shadowed her—and knocked quietly on the door.

Dane stood over the table, leaning on his fists, with Chris and John, the computer guy, sitting in front of laptops. He'd taken off his jacket, loosened his tie, and his sleeves were rolled up almost to his elbows. 

He looked good enough to eat, but when he straightened and turned his head to see her, his eyes didn't light up the way they usually would. All conversation in the room stopped and Lila stood awkwardly at the door wondering what she'd interrupted.

"You okay?" he asked quietly. But it lacked warmth.
