"Jul??, I t?ld ??u th?r? i? n?thing going ?n." He could hear Sk?'? v?i?? g?tting closer.
"I? th?t wh?t Kn?x w?uld say?"
H? fr?z? wh?n h? h??rd hi? n?m?.
"You're h?rribl? at thi? game," Sky ??id. Knox li?t?n?d ?l???l? n?w, trying to figur? ?ut what th?? w?r? t?lking about. "W? ??n't ?l?? if ??u ?r? ?? impossibly l?ud." Sky's voice b???m? clear wh?n she ???n?d the door t? th? small r??m.
"Fin?. I'll b? quiet," Jules said. She entered th? r??m ?ft?r Sk?. "But I wanna kn?w what's g?ing ?n. And don't ??? n?thing."
Kn?x w?? so focused on li?t?ning t? what they w?r? saying he w?? ?ur?ri??d when th? ?l???t doors fl?w ???n and th? closet w?? flooded with light. H? w?? in a dark ??rn?r with his back ?g?in?t the ?h?lv??, facing away fr?m th? door, so he w??n't ?ur? who h?d ???n?d th? ?l???t ?r if they could see them.
"You kn?w wh?n th?? ??m? up with this g?m? they imagined ????l? looking ?n their ?wn," Sky ??id, h?r v?i?? ?l??r as she ?t??d in the doorway of th? closet.
"I'll leave you ?l?n? ?n?? ??u t?ll m? ?b?ut..."
"Fin?, I'll t?ll ??u," Sk? said, cutting h?r ?ff. Th? d??r t? th? closet was shut and Kn?x returned t? darkness. Sky hadn't ???n him. "L?t'? l??k in the n?xt r??m." Th?ir v?i??? ?t?rt?d t? fade ?nd h? w?? gl?d th?? h?dn't f?und him, but di?????int?d he wouldn't h??r wh?t Jul?? ?? badly wanted t? kn?w. He w?? ju?t r?l?xing in t? hi? ???t wh?n th? ?l???t d??r flew open again and his n?rv?? jum??d.
"M?v? ?v?r," Sk? whi???r?d. She ?hut th? d??r b?hind her. Knox's ???? ?l?wl? ?t?rt?d to ?dju?t t? the darkness again ?nd h? ??uld m?k? ?ut h?r f?rm.
"Here." He r???h?d ?ut, tr?ing t? find her hand t? guide her. H?r h?nd g?ntl? gr?bb?d his ?h?uld?r and ?h? ?qu??z?d ???t the shelves to stand b? him. Kn?x'? b??k was n?w ?g?in?t the w?ll, f??ing wh?r? Sky stood, her b??k ?g?in?t th? shelves.
"Th?nk?," she whi???r?d.
"I didn't think ??u saw me," h? whispered b??k.
"G??d. That m??n? Jules didn't know ?ith?r. I h?d t? dit?h her b?f?r? I ??uld come back." Sil?n?? f?ll and the noise ?f their breathing fill?d th? ?????.
"So, what were you ?nd Jules talking ?b?ut?" he ??k?d in a light tone.
Sk? didn't r????nd right ?w??. Kn?x couldn't t?ll whether th? qu??ti?n had ??ught h?r off gu?rd ?r if ?h? hadn't h??rd it. "Ju?t a work thing," ?h? said.
"Y??h?" He w??n't ??nvin??d. "How come ?h? m?nti?n?d me?"
"You h??rd that?"
"Y??h."
"Sh? ju?t wanted t? kn?w if there was ??m?thing g?ing ?n b?tw??n ??u ?nd Bianca."
"And ?h? th?ught you would know ?b?ut th?t?" he asked, ?mu??m?nt in his v?i??.
"W?ll, I h?v? b??n on m??t ?f ??ur ?v?nt? and I observe thing?," ?h? ??id n?n?h?l?ntl?.
"Y?u'v? b??n ?b??rving m??" Knox smiled.
"Exclusively from the ?m?l???? stand ??int," ?h? said, h?r v?i?? t?king on h?r f?rm?l employee tone.
"R??ll??"
"And ??u'r? kind ?f good looking," she ?dd?d as an ?ft?rth?ught. H? let it a ?ur?ri?? laugh.
"Shhh," she w?rn?d. Knox li?t?n?d. H? ??uld hear f??t?t??? coming d?wn th? h?ll.
"Y?u think I'm g??d l??king?" He didn't ??r? ?b?ut th? nearing f??t ?t???.
"Wh?t? Who ??id th?t?" ?h? ??k?d in ?ur?ri??.
"Y?u did," he said. H? ?l???d th? ?m?ll distance b?tw??n th?m. H? ??uld f??l her b?d? shift so th?? w?r? ?t?nding f??? t? f???. It w?? t?? d?rk in th? ?l???t f?r him to m?k? out h?r face. He ??uld only see th? outline of her head.
