But when I came home this afternoon to pick up some equipment that I forgot, I saw you weren’t here. You didn’t go to your house, did you?”I can tell that he’s trying to be nonchalant about it, but unfortunately, it’s not working. He’s tense, suspicion radiates from him, and I know I’m going to have to tell him about William one of these days, but this is clearly not the time. The bigger issue here is that I’m pretty sure he didn’t forget any equipment. “You don’t have to check up on me, you know. I am a grown woman, and I’m fully capable of taking care of myself. Just so you know, I did go home for a bit to look for Darcy, but she still wasn’t around. I’m really starting to worry about her.”“I’m sorry,” he says, relaxing a little. “I shouldn’t let my concern for you make you feel like I don’t think you can handle yourself.
