"I know you can go there," he insisted, "But never hesitate to come to me if you need to," there was a pause then he added, "...or want to.”

Some unseen force promoted me to turn to him and I did. And my heart caught in my throat. Even though it was semi-dark, the tenderness I saw in those eyes was intense.

What does he mean,...come to me?' I thought as I quickly looked away from him. Was there an underlying meaning to his words?

I swallowed when another thought popped up in my head. Yep, it's definitely the situation we're in. Else, I would not be thinking his 'come to me' could also imply that he was asking me to come back to him

I shook my head and closed my eyes to get rid of all the rubbish thoughts that were popping into my head. He was just being a nice boss. He probably still wanted to make it up to the former employees for the way he took over the company.

As I mulled over it in my head and his words started to make sense, his phone's light suddenly went out.

Aiden muttered, "What ha- shit, it's dead."

The subdued panic came rising in a heartbeat. My breathing came in fast bursts and my grip on my knee tightened painfully then....

His big warm hands covered mine. I wanted to pull away like I had wanted to when he sat beside me but I couldn't.

I didn't want this calm I suddenly felt to be gone. His touch was like magic, an instant medication that quenched all of my fears.

His fingers intertwined with mine and he grabbed it and placed it on his lap. "I'm here," he muttered tenderly.
