“Would you stop holding me up? I’m not going to fall over walking into a building.” Chance had been treating me like a fragile flower since the safe house. Sure, I had been dehydrated and I still felt pretty awful because I didn’t have any energy, but I would get that back in a day or two. Besides lack of energy, the thing that was bothering me the most was my cracked lips. Every once in a while, one of the cracks would start to bleed if I wasn’t careful. It was painful, but would heal in time.

“We should have stayed at the safe house longer. You needed to rest more.”

I stopped in my tracks and stared at him pointedly.

“What?”

“This coming from a man who has a goose egg on his forehead. I’m thinking maybe it’s you that should have taken more time to rest. You could have a concussion.”

He shrugged like it was no big deal. “I’ve had ‘em before. I’ll have ‘em again.”

I repeated it, silently mocking him behind his back as we stepped onto the elevator. Men were such idiots. He was passed out on the floor after slamming his head into Jackson’s, but he was worried about me because I wasn’t back to the same energy level I had before. He went through a series of scans that had me rolling my eyes. I felt like I was entering the CIA.

When the elevator doors opened and we stepped off, I eyed the chairs longingly. I would never admit that I was tired from the trip from the parking garage to here. The last thing I needed was Chance deciding to take me for tests or something, which he probably would with the way he was acting. And it was strange to me. How could he go from so unfeeling to this? What exactly had changed to cause this one-eighty?

“Come on. Let’s get you to a chair. You look like you’re going to pass out if you don’t sit down in the next five seconds.” Chance gripped onto my elbow and I was thankful for the assistance. I did feel like I was about five seconds from just plopping down and planting my ass wherever my body landed. We walked into a conference room and Chance pushed me gently down in a chair, kneeling in front of me with concern all over his face.

“Are you feeling okay? You look a little green.”

“I’m fine. I think the better question is what the hell is wrong with you?”

His eyebrows quirked in confusion. “What do you mean?”

“I mean that all the sudden you’re worried about every move I make. Why? What’s changed that now you feel the need to watch over me like a hawk?”

“I was looking out for you back at the club too. Remember? I warned you not to go to that poker game?”

“I remember, but I also remember you throwing money at me like a whore after you fucked me.”

He hung his head in shame and then looked back up at me, his features unreadable.
