Unless Provoked

After a few more general instructions, the couple left with Roach in Rolls Royce. Aaron had to tell her everything that happened on his side seeing her still worried he might be hiding something. 

As soon as they reached Skyarc, she sprinted to Shawn's bedroom and pounded on the door. Shawn had taken bath and was about to go to bed when he heard the hurried knocks on the unlocked door. He knew who was there at the door. He wore his t-shirt and opened the door.

He thought she was giving him a hug but her hand reached his left ear tip. He faintly hissed when her finger grazed the burnt skin. He only got to know he was hurt when he was showering. 

"How did you know, Little Heart?" He asked. How could he believe she could guess it just by his brother's brief? If Aaron knew, he would have first checked on him. His friend was too detail-oriented.
