Forcing down my panic, I tried to keep my voice calm. "You left work early today?"

Seeing him like this, a wave of guilt washed over me. The urge to avoid him vanished in an instant.

"I..." I opened my mouth, but no words came out. A mess of emotions swirled inside me. "I'm sorry..."

Eric stepped closer, his eyes locking on mine. "Sorry for what?"
