Evaline:
I was going to strangle Rowan.
If he didn't get himself strangled first.
"Don't do anything stupid!" I hissed sharply into my phone, keeping my voice low as I pressed myself deeper between the tall cabinets of the archive room. If someone found me hiding behind a shelf whispering like this on my first day of the new project... yeah, that would be fun to explain.
It was barely my second hour here in the new HQ.
Second hour.
And I was already yelling at Rowan for attempting the exact kind of reckless idiocy I feared he would attempt someday... he's just like me after all.
My pulse pounded violently. "Rowan, I swear to the Moon Goddess, if you get caught-"
"I won't," he whispered, but he sounded breathless, the kind of breathless that came from either running or hiding. Knowing Rowan, it was both.
