As I hunched over my desk, the soft knock on my office door barely registered, and I only looked up when it swung open to reveal the last person I had expected to
–
see Timothy himself. He stood there, his expression a mixture of surprise and apprehension.
“Timothy,” I stammered, my voice betraying my astonishment. “What are you doing here?”
He shifted uncomfortably, his hands fidgeting in his pockets. “I’ve been trying to find you, Evie. I didn’t know where to start, and I thought maybe you’d be here.”
I had so many questions, but the foremost one spilled from my lips before I could stop it. “Why did you want to find me?”
He took a deep breath and approached my desk, leaning against it as he spoke. “Evie, I came here because I want you to withdraw from my case.”
The words hung in the air, a weight that threatened to crush me. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “Withdraw? But why? I’ve been working tirelessly on your case, trying to help you.”
Timothy’s eyes met mine, and there was a depth of emotion I hadn’t seen before. “That’s exactly it, Evie. You’ve been working too hard on my behalf. I don’t want you to overextend yourself for me.”
My temper flared, and I couldn’t hold back the words that tumbled out in a furious torrent. “You don’t get to decide whether I’m ‘overextending‘ myself or not. This is my profession, and I take it seriously. I’m trying to fight for you, and now you’re asking me to step back? Do you not respect what I do?”
Timothy’s eyes widened, clearly caught off guard by my anger. “That’s not it, Evie. I do respect you, and I’m grateful for everything you’ve done. But I’m worried about you, and I don’t want to be the cause of any harm or stress in your life.”
I was seething, my hands trembling with pent–up frustration. “You think I can’t handle it, don’t you? You think I’m not capable of taking on an important case like this?”
Timothy sighed, and his voice was laced with guilt. “No, that’s not what I meant, Evie. You’re a talented lawyer, and I believe in you. But I don’t want you to suffer
