"Sorry about that."
"Instinct," Briar added.
"I'll let it slide just this once," Adrian said to her.
"Now, do you want me to tell you what happened or would you rather leave and wait to find out?"
Briar took a seat on one of the empty chairs in Adrian's office.
"First."
Adrian grumbled, "I haven't even finished work yet."
"Oh well."
"So, starting with what happened with Madeline and Indiana..."
