“You.”

I stare at her.

“No.”

“You served together.”

“That doesn't make us friends.”

Mara shakes her head and turns back to the computer.

I see Mara.

Not because of Grant.

Because of me.

She looks up.

“What?”

“Nothing.”

“You were staring.”

“No.”

“You were.”

“I was thinking.”

“Loudly?”

I smile.

“Apparently.”

Her eyes soften.

For a moment, neither of us looks away.

Then Blaze drops a folder onto the desk.

“Found something.”

I step back.
