I blink.
That felt cold.
A frown creases on my forehead.
What the fuck was that about?
Is it all in my head? She was just wrapped in my arms, in my fucking sheets a few nights ago. Did she forget?
Am I being a fucking baby?
God, I hate feelings.
They are so damn confusing.
I shake my head, trying to clear the confusion.
I can't help but feel like a vulnerable schoolboy, wondering why the girl he likes is acting strange.
"Greene," I mutter to myself, reaching for his client file. I need to discuss the Greene case with Bailey.You're just making up a reason to talk to her.
Shut up.
My thoughts taunt me.
I make my way to her office. Her back is to me as I enter, and she's engrossed in her computer.
"Bailey, about Greene..."
She doesn't turn around, doesn't acknowledge my presence until I’m right behind her.
"The Greene file is on your desk. Everything you need to know is in there."
"You could warm up the Arctic with that cold shoulder." I rest against her desk, my eyes never leaving her. "Did I miss something, or did we not just spend an incredible weekend together?"
"We did," she says, her voice as frosty as a winter morning. "And now it's Monday, and we have work to do." She turns back to her screen, dismissing me.
I chuckle, shaking my head. "Alright, ice queen. You keep your secrets."
"I think you're the one with..." she murmurs under her breath, her eyes still fixed on the computer screen. I couldn't quite get what she was saying.
"What was that, Bailey?"
"Nothing."
"Did you say something about secrets?" I ask, trying to keep the frustration from my voice.
"Nothing, Logan." She doesn't turn around to look at me, doesn't stop typing. It's like I'm not even there.
"No, you said something about secrets," I insist, my irritation rising. It's as if she's playing mind games with me.
“We’ll talk later, Logan. Not now,” she snaps, finally spinning around in the chair to face me. Her eyes are cold, distant.
"Alright." I raise my hands in surrender, backing away. "Whatever you say, princess."
With a sigh, I turn and walk out of her office, the door closing behind me with a soft click.
