Joshua stood by the window, his back to her, quietly talking on the phone.
Allison padded over, wrapped her arms around him from behind, and rested her cheek against his back.
He tensed for a split second.
Joshua ended the call with a quick, "Alright, that's it for now," then turned and pulled Allison into his arms.
"You're back."
"Mm-hmm," she replied softly.
She melted into his chest, her voice barely above a whisper. "Joshua, you're so good to me."
He laughed, that deep, magnetic sound she loved. "You're just figuring that out?"
"Will you always be this good to me?"
"Of course."
Allison looked up at him, her eyes shining like stars, never looking away from his.

Watson glanced down, hesitated. "I wanted to talk to you about something."
She caught a flash of disappointment in his expression. "Is it about work?"
He shook his head. "No."
Her tone cooled a little. "I don't want to talk about personal stuff during work hours."
"But it's almost impossible to see you alone after work," Watson said, his voice tight. "How did you and Joshua
get back together so suddenly?"
Allison's face went blank. "Watson, we're just friends. That question's out of line."
Watson's eyes dimmed. "Allison, you know how | feel about you, don't you?"
She frowned, silent for a moment.
"I had a feeling, but you never said anything, so didn't think much of it," she said seriously. "But since you're
