"Everett, where have you been?" I didn't expect him to find me awake, considering it was past midnight.
Propping myself up on my elbows, I swung my legs off the bed and walked over to him, barefoot. "You weren't working late at the office, were you?"
Everett pressed his lips together, not saying a word.

"I was at the office."

"You went to the hospital."
