In His Shadow, I Became Her Toy
After the meeting ended, Simone immediately ran after me.
"Isaac!" She stopped me in the corridor, her attitude the meekest I'd ever seen from her.
"Are you free this evening? I'd like to… treat you to dinner to welcome you back."
Jerry also came after us, his smile stiff as he hooked his arm around Simone's.
"That's right, Isaac. Since you just got back, we should meet up for a family meal."
But Simone subtly pulled her arm away, and that simple reaction made Jerry's face go pale.
