An emotion crossed Tom's features, but it was quickly covered before I could read it. His head turned towards Alpha Peter, both of them sharing a look before turning back to face Jude. What was that about? Giving a small, but warm smile, Tom took it in his own hand and gave it a firm shake. "It's a pleasure son, but I will have to insist on you staying here."
I glanced up at Jude through the corner of my eye, would he be expecting an explanation? "Of course, sir." Apparently not.
"Please, call me Tom." There it was again, that same emotion flashed in his eyes, only this time he wasn't so quick to mask it.
Love.
