“Sorry!” Galen replied quickly. He reached forward when she hit the desk, but he stopped himself from touching her. “I didn’t mean to– sorry.”
Bell looked at him but turned away when she saw the look in his eyes. She couldn’t face him yet.
“What happened to Ashleigh?” Caleb pleaded again.
Bell refocused her attention on Caleb. She moved beside him to take a closer look at his condition. He looked exhausted and weak. She put the back of her hand to his head.
‘When did they become so close?’ Galen wondered to himself.
He cleared his throat loudly. Drawing both of their eyes towards him.
“Like I said, this,” Galen said, directing his chin towards Caleb, “happened last night.”
“Can you tell me what happened?” Bell asked softly, turning once more to Caleb.
Hearing the tenderness in her voice, Galen clenched his jaw.
