Chapter 391: I Should Have Left

Walker's POV:

I know this isn't wise. I know I should have left, letting her father stay to watch over her instead of me. I'm breaking about a million boundaries - well maybe not a million - but enough that it's bound to come back to bite me in the arse.

Fortunately, I'd still been reading when the DCS walked into the hospital room, earlier this evening. Otherwise, I hate to think what he might have thought.

It was bad enough that his eyebrow had gone sky high, his facial expression asking the questions his mouth refused to. He hadn't looked unhappy or angry, just surprised so I'd tried to act like it wasn't odd that I'd basically been found in his daughter's bed.

"Kentley wanted me to read to her," I began in an attempt to clear up any confusion, "but she fell asleep."

"Good," my boss said in a tone that gave nothing away. "She's not been sleeping," and with that he changed the subject.
