"You really thought about what I said at breakfast?" She queried.
Xavier had shown up on her doorstep just to ask her something she'd mentioned at breakfast.

"You should have the day off," Madeline suggested, closing the door.
"A day off?" Xavier asked, foreign with those three words.

"I have things to do as alpha, and those things won't wait."
"Well then, as I said let someone else deal with it," Madeline insisted.
"Look, I certainly haven't known you for long but you seem incredibly stressed."
