Chapter 194: He's Not Okay

Clara's POV:

It's hours later when we finally walk through the door of Andrew's apartment. The television is on in the living room. I can hear Jacob laughing at whatever show he is watching. We remove our coats and scarves. Andrew gives me a chaste kiss on my ice cold lips. I'm shivering slightly from how cold it is outside, and so Andrew wraps his arm around me as we walk down the hall to the living room.

"Hey guys."

Jacob grins up at us from where he's sitting on Andrew's corner sofa. He's wearing suit trousers and a shirt, his top button undone and his sleeves rolled up. Unlike his brother, he doesn't look comfortable. He looks like the sort of person who doesn't feel comfortable unless he's wearing a three-piece suit. Andrew has told me enough about his brother for me to know I'm probably not far off the mark. Jacob is a lawyer, and even though he's wearing his clothes more casually than normal, he still looks like a lawyer.
