It was the first time she broke eye contact. She looked at the white desk, examining the vase of lilies and the gray MacBook. Her eyes combed over the desk, searching for something, before she turned back to me. “I was out of the country for the last few weeks. When I got back to town the other day, I heard the news. I didn’t know what else to do, so I came here…”
Why didn’t she answer my question?
“I just need to know that she’s going to be alright…”
“I’m sure she will be.”
She gave a slight nod, her chest still rising and falling rapidly. She took a slight step back from the desk, drawing away from me.
I rose to my feet again. “Should I tell her you stopped by?”
“Uh…no.” She tucked her brown hair behind her ear then turned away from my desk. “Thank you for your time, Mr. Cutler.”
Something in my gut said something was wrong here. Titan would never be acquainted with someone who lacked professional grace. This woman seemed off-balance, far too affected by Titan’s tragedy than an objective person should be. “Ms. Creed?”
She turned around when she reached the door, just as much sadness in her eyes as there was when she walked in.
“How do you know her?”
Her hand moved to the handle, and she rested it there for a moment. It seemed like she was going to give me an answer judging by the way she opened her lips slightly. But something must have changed her mind, because she yanked the handle down and walked off at a quick pace, like I might decide to chase her.
Whatever her relationship was with Titan, she didn’t want me to know about it.
It made me wonder if Titan even knew about it.
