“Uncle Willy, please don’t,” she begged. “It’s fine. He was just speaking the truth.”
“He was not! You’re the best assistant I’ve ever had. And I didn’t give you the job because you’re my niece.”
She shot him a knowing look. “I’m the only assistant you’ve ever had. And, of course I got the job because I’m your niece.”
“Still don’t like him upsetting you. Plonker.”
She walked over and wrapped her arm around his, squeezing it. “My hero. Don’t worry. I’m fine now.”
“Are you sure?” Hux asked, looking concerned. “Because if you need to tell us something, we’re here.”
“Nope. Nothing to tell. Come on, let’s get moving. Places to see, photos to take, and all that. Time to move!”
Maggie let outa deep breath as she tried to push all her thoughts away and concentrate on her movements.
Yoga and meditation had become her friends.
Sometimes, they were the only things keeping her sane.
Especially at the moment. She’d thrown herself into work today and might have pushed herself a tad too far, considering her entire body hurt. Especially her hip.
By the end of the day, even Hux was staring at her in concern.
But they’d gotten the shots they needed.
And she hadn’t seen Ian all day.
Win-win.
She was up on the rooftop deck. It was calm up here. Serene. She raised her hands to the sky, then bent over to touch her toes, enjoying the stretch.
A headache thumped in the back of her head. She probably should have drunk some more water today.
It could also be due to how much she’d been tugging at her hair in the last couple of days. She needed to be careful or she was going to develop a bald spot. There was a reason she kept her hair long, even though it would be easier to cut it all off.
“What are you doing?”
She glanced over with a cry.
“How do you move so quietly?” she asked, standing.
Jack just smiled. She couldn’t help but grin back. He was such a peaceful guy. Immediately, the knot in her stomach started to unravel.
That was until she realized that if Jack was here, Ian likely was too.
“Yoga. Ever done it?” she asked.
“Nope.”
“I like to do some yoga and meditate every day,” she told him, watching for any signs of derision. Not everyone understood her need to meditate.
Namely, her family.
They thought it was a waste of time.
“Yeah? Why?”
“Yoga can help with strength, agility, it can help manage stress. There are loads of benefits. Better sleep.”
