Let's go shopping, probably get you some new gadgets for your tech."Adrian squealed with laughter as he dashed off to get ready and Claire watched him go with warmth spreading through her chest because he had always liked anything tech, never getting tired of exploring whatever had to do with technology.An hour later, they were at the upscale electronics store in the mall and Adrian was running from display to display with his eyes wide as he looked at tablets, coding kits, robotics sets."Mama, look at this one!

    Jeff stood in the empty conference room with his hand still pressed to his cheek where she had slapped him, the sting was fading but the confusion wasn't.He'd caught her to keep her from falling and she'd reacted like he'd attacked her."What the hell". He muttered.For that brief second before she'd pulled away, he had felt her body relax into his and when her hands had gripped his shirt, she had fit against him in a way that felt oddly familiar.Jeff shook his head and dropped his hand, why the hell would she slap him when he was only trying to help her? Why was she always so angry with him?Even saving her is an offense to her, he decided to go to her and maybe apologize for his recent crime of saving her.He left the conference room and took the elevator to the top floor where her office was positioned.Jeff knocked once before pushing the door open.Amber was standing at the window with her back to him, her posture straight and stiff. she had pulled her hair into a ponytail tha
