Suddenly, Callum stiffened up before raising his head slowly to look at her. “Why are you here?” he said in a dry voice, forcing a smile as he did

She was startled by the haggardness on his face. “You look awful! Your flight back must have been exhausting. Why don’t you come home and rest? You can deal with everything else after a good rest.”
