Chapter 300

Jeremiah POVThe secretarial pool is entirely empty by five o'clock, but her desk looks like a bomb went off.Her notebook is wide open. Her silver pen is rolling near the edge of the mahogany. Her mobile phone is sitting right next to the keyboard, the screen lighting up every few minutes with a text message from a number I do not recognise.I pick the phone up. The glass is warm.I run my thumb over the screen, my mind flashing back to the way she tasted less than two hours ago. Her lips were soft, yielding, completely different from the sharp, professional mask she wears every morning. I had crossed the line. I knew it the second my hands found her hips, but I could not stop."Sir?"I snap around. Benedict is standing at the entrance of the cubicle, a stack of grey folders tucked against her ribs. She looks at the phone in my hand, then at my face. Her eyes go wide."Where is she?" I ask. My voice is too loud for the empty floor."She went home," Benedict says, taking a step back.

Salome POV"Breathe through it, Salome," Jay said.His thumbs dug into the skin around my lateral malleolus.He was trying to be gentle.His palms were warm.The heat did not help.Every tiny press sent a direct current of agony straight up my shin.My teeth locked together.I gripped the edge of the black vinyl examination table.My fingernails punctured the fabric."You are doing exceptionally well," Jay murmured.He shifted his weight.His thumb slid a millimetre to the left.My lungs seized.The urge to scream tore at the back of my throat.I did not let it out.I kept my spine completely straight.I forced my facial muscles to remain smooth.Jay rubbed the swollen tissue again.He did not know.He had no idea that my vision was fading to grey at the edges."Most people scream during this part," Jay said.He wiped sweat from his own forehead."I had a rugby player in here last week. He wept. He literally begged for his mother."I did not answer.Speaking required oxygen.Oxygen re

Salome POV"When do you think my ankle injury will heal?"I keep my eyes locked on Jay, refusing to look at the man standing right behind him. The air in the tiny examination room feels heavy, thick with the smell of antiseptic and the suffocating presence of my ex-husband.Jay freezes, a fresh ice pack clutched in his hand. He looks between me and the shadow looming near the door."If you stay off it for a couple of days, elevate it, and keep it iced, it should be fine by Monday," Jay says. His voice is steady, but I catch the quick twitch of his jaw. He steps closer, blocking my view of Barnabas. "But you must not try to walk on it right now. You are much more likely to injure it further. If you put weight on it while the ligaments are weak, you might actually break the bone."I force my lips to stretch into something resembling a smile. It feels like plastic. It feels like a grimace."I promise I will be careful," I say."You could recover a lot better if you quit your job," Barnab

Salome POV"Move," a man barked, shoving past my shoulder.I stumbled.The raw wood of the crutches dug straight into my armpits.A sharp shot of white-hot pain fired down my arms.My fingers went totally numb.I gripped the plastic handles harder."Watch it," a woman muttered, her shopping bag clipping my bad ankle.I gasped.The agony flared like boiling water inside my boot.My heel throbbed with a heavy, steady pulse.I dragged my left leg forward.The metal tips scraped against the concrete pavement.They made a high, grating screech.Nobody cared.The city crowd just swarmed around me like ants.I took one more shaky step.My arms shook under my own weight.I stopped right in the middle of the pavement.A man in a grey suit glared at me.He veered hard to the left to avoid hitting my crutch.I ignored him.I shuffled backward until my spine hit cold glass.It was an empty shopfront.The glass felt freezing against the fabric of my wet shirt.My skin was covered in a thick layer
