Apologies..

It was to be expected, but I didn't anticipate the complete change in Steven's character. He didn't smile when I entered his office, and his tone had been dismissive all morning. However, he was his usual self to the other employees, and I knew it definitely had to do with the way things had ended last night. I wanted to tell him that I had pushed him away like that because I wanted to save his life, but he probably wouldn't understand.

"How was the date last night? Did you two get down to business?" Anna asked with a broad smile on her face. She was overly excited for something that would probably be disappointing, and I wasted no time in bursting her little bubble.
