“So your last name really is Gonzalez?”
Shit. “That’s it.”
“So you just lied about having lied, and you want me to trust you? No. No. Get the fuck out of my life,” Robin shouted.
He needed to make her understand. She’d get it.
The door was shoved open. Harper staggered forward and Robin scrambled across the room, behind the desk, and as far from him as she could get.
“Harper,” a familiar voice snarled.
He had a fraction of a second to glance over his shoulder before Logan grabbed him by his Kevlar vest and yanked backward.
“Ma’am, I’m very sorry about this,” Logan said in a much softer tone. “He won’t bother you again. You have my word.”
Robin stood there, hands balled into fists, and glared at them both. Only, Harper could see tears in her eyes.
Logan pulled Harper out of the room.
“What the hell?” He twisted out of Logan’s grip then shoved him farther away.
Logan pushed the consultation room door shut then met the eyes of the FBI officer standing there. “Don’t let this man in the same room with her, understand?”
Harper gaped at them. “You can’t do that. You can’t.”
He took a step toward the door, but Logan was there. He planted his hands against Harper’s chest and shoved him back against the opposite wall.
“You’ve done enough,” Logan said in a low voice.
“Harper?” another familiar voice said.
He turned as Kelsey and Saaina came around the corner, staring at them with wide eyes.
Great.
What was she doing here?
Saaina was the last person Robin would want to see right now.
Saaina’s gaze drifted down to Harper’s chest, and she nodded. “I wondered…”
He blinked at her. “You—what?”
She lifted her shoulders.
Kelsey put a hand on Saaina’s shoulder. “I think this conversation needs to happen not in the middle of the waiting room, guys?”
Saaina closed the distance and put her hand on Harper’s arm. “How is she?”
His heart felt like it was cracking in half. “She won’t speak to me.”
“Give her time,” Saaina said softly. “She lost her father and maybe her uncle. She might lose her best friend, too. It makes sense she would blame you given…”
“What do you care?” Harper snapped.
“What an asshole,” Kelsey muttered.
Saaina smiled a sad smile. “Pushing Robin away was the only way I could think of to save her.”
