By all rights, he should have never taken this job. Putting him and Zora in close proximity was only going to end one of two ways: in heartbreak, or in hate.
They’d been poised on a knife’s edge ever since he showed up. There was no doubt in his mind Zora had hired their team from Aegis Group because of Tucker. No doubt whatsoever. But whatever her reasons were, she’d never shared them.

Oh, everyone would think she’d gone home for the night, but he knew the truth. Whenever people were in the field, she didn’t leave the office. NO matter what she tried to make people believe.
They’d been close once. Intimate even, though he couldn’t say they’d had much of a relationship. He didn’t know what the fuck they were, though he knew at one point he’d wanted more. For the last year, she’d held him in her thrall. Part of him wanted Zora in his life again. But they were strangers now despite all the time they spent together.

Just because they were both here didn’t mean he had to torture himself anymore. It was time to focus on himself, and not her.
If she wanted him, she knew where he’d be.
