ASHAL
"Are you okay?" Asher asks when he finds me in the gym late at night after we all decided to hit the sack. The fact that he is not dressed for a workout tells me he is strictly here to check on me before retiring to bed.
"Yeah. I thought you would be asleep by now." I check my watch. It's fifteen minutes past two in the morning. "Don't you have a big day today?" He shrugs lazily and sits on the floor next to me.
"Every day of work is kind of a big day at the HQ so it's nothing new." His eyes narrow with concern. "How are you? How are things with Olivia? I'm sorry we've been so carried away with Cree that nobody remembered to ask how you're faring in all of this."
His raw admission and the concern swimming in his eyes disarms me. "Thanks Asher. I'll be fine."
