“No,” I said, turning to look away for a moment. “I won’t leave. Let’s finish this thing.”

His sigh of relief cut through the charged air, and a faint glimmer of amusement sparked within me. “You seem relieved. And to think, you were once so confident that I’d never want to leave, even when our contract ended.”
