He frowned, then nodded. “We’ll go home.”
“What? Why?”
“Because you’re tired. You’re working too much lately. That asshole boss is making you work too late.”
“Yeah. I guess that’s it.”
Loki took her hand with his, threading their fingers.
“Nothing else?”
“I just have to tell you something about my car.” She knew she had to, she just didn’t want to upset him.
“What about it?”
“It didn’t exactly break down. I had a minor accident.”
“What? What kind of minor accident?” he demanded. There was a note of panic in his voice.
Shit. This is why she hadn’t wanted to tell him anything.
“Hey, I’m all right. I’m right here. See? I’m fine.” She cupped his face with her hands. “Nothing happened to me. I just ran off the road and scraped the side of my car.”
His breathing grew more rapid. “You could have been seriously hurt.”
“But I wasn’t.” Shit. Her heart was aching for him. She knew this was a trigger for him. The idea of someone else he loved being hurt or killed . . . it was why she never objected when he became overprotective.
“I’m fine. I didn’t even need to go to the doctor. I promise. And Remy?—”
“Remy, what? Why didn’t he take you to the hospital? Damn it, Isabelle.”
Crap. She needed to calm him down.
“Remy helped me. He said he would take me to the hospital if he thought I needed to go. But I didn’t.”
“You could have had internal injuries. You still could!”
“I don’t, Loki. I’m all good. It was just a small crash.”
“Why’d it happen?”
Fuck.
“I got blinded by another car’s lights.”
“Remy’s?”
“No, just some strange car. No one we know.” Well, she hoped not.
“Probably some damn tourist, driving too fast on roads they don’t know,” he muttered as he paced back and forth in front of her. “You need a dashcam.”
She wasn’t going to tell him that Remy had said the same thing. That wouldn’t go down well.
“All right.”
“And I’m driving you to and from work until your car is fixed.”
“Thank you.” She knew better than to argue.
