Soren

I was so stupid.

I told him I loved him. Right there, in the middle of a heated conversation, when I knew damn well that was the last thing he wanted to hear. It was impulsive, desperate as hell, even I wouldn't have stayed if someone threw that in my face mid-argument.

Now, I sat in my office, staring at the door he had just walked out of, running a hand through my hair. My chest ached, my mind racing in circles. I had spent so much time convincing myself that I was fine, that I could let him go. But the moment I saw him with Adrian, something inside me snapped.

I was miserable without him and every moment I spent alone drove me to the brink of insanity. I never once imagined I would be apart from him but I didn't think it would be from my own doing.

I sighed and leaned back just as Rudolf walked in, a stack of files in hand.

"You okay?" he asked, his voice cautious.

I nodded, even though it was a lie. "What did you find?"
