The Woman From Hell

When I got home that evening, it was already late, but I noticed that the light in the study was on and knew that Theo was inside.

"Can I come in?" I knocked on the door and asked softly.

"Come on in."

I could hear the exhaustion in Theo's tone. He must have been busy today.

I pushed open the door and saw him sitting at his desk, his head buried in paperwork. I had wanted to ask him about the issue regarding the Golden-O counterfeits, but seeing him so busy, I decided to leave first. Theo had not returned to the room by the time I stepped out of the bathroom. I went to make a cup of tea before stepping into the study once again. "Have some tea to refresh yourself."

"Thank you."

Theo looked up at me quickly, the corners of his mouth curving upward slightly before lowering his head again to go back to work.

I did not want to disturb him but wanted to accompany him. Thus, I went back to the room and grabbed my laptop before plopping myself onto the bean bag to deal with some work. Time passed minute after minute, and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.

When I woke up again, I saw Theo half-crouched before me trying to cover me with a blanket. I grabbed his hand. "Are you done with work?" It was clear from my voice I had just woken up. He shot me a light smile that was brighter than the light.
