QUINN'S BUILDING,
On the top floor of Quinn's PLC, in his vast office, Maximus stood close to the floor-to-ceiling glass. His hands were casually tucked into the pockets of his pants, but his bored eyes were fixed on the cars more than one hundred feet below him. He usually found solace watching this view, but today, it was different.
He sighed as his mind wandered mindlessly to Ava for the one thousandth time today. Everything has been different since she came into his life. He was easily distracted, always thinking about her. It drove him insane.
This woman was the death of him.
One moment, he was standing watching moving vehicles from a hundred feet below him, and the next, he was in Lebron University, forsaking the numerous tasks that piled up on his desk, leaving Ethan in charge of any emergency.
