Hayden sounded polite enough, using "please" and everything, but it still felt like a command from a superior.

And I knew this wasn't about work. Yesterday, he'd grilled me about those flowers from Brad, and now he'd just seen this whole scene go down firsthand. Was he planning another interrogation?
