Was everything all right? What a perfectly ludicrous question.
What was even more ludicrous was that she couldn't even look at him, and considering that she'd been cavorting shamelessly with him since the night they'd met it made no logical sense. But she was afraid of what he'd see in her eyes if he really looked at her. She was probably worrying him. She knew she'd sounded like a wreck over the phone, and she probably looked like hell. A far cry from the put-together woman he was acquainted with.
"I'm sorry if I called too late," she said, her voice a little robotic. "I thought about stopping by your apartment, but I know I can't just show up whenever I feel like it. Not without asking first."
The cup of tea was warm between her palms. Nathan was still standing. He was wearing chinos and a dark button-down shirt. As a winter, the muted colors suited his complexion. The Watcher indicated the other chair at the table with a nod of her head. "We...we should talk."
