[Music: Drive You Insane By Daniel Di Angelo]
I didn't move because it seemed as if my legs were stapled there. I swallowed a lump in my throat when he towered over me.
"Are you sure that's the only reason?" he asked in a ragged whisper. "If there is... Tell me."
There was a power in his voice that made my pulse race, and I was this close to spilling every secret I have.
I clenched the file tightly against my chest. "She's asking questions, looking into my background. She wants to know what our relationship is really about."
"Anything else?"
I shuddered. "No."
I kept my eyes pinned on him, unwavering, silently praying he wouldn't ask more than this.
"I'll handle it."
"G-Good." I turned to leave, but he stopped me again.
"Are you avoiding me?"
"No! Why would I?"
He held my chin captive so that my eyes were suddenly on his.
"You're a ghost in my office."
"I'm working."
"We're both working," he countered. "Tell me what's on your mind."
"There's nothing on my mind."
