His eyes search mine in wonder and a slow smile builds on his face. “How are you not the least bit out of breath right now?”
“Finn, answer the question.” I feel the nervousness in my voice.
“No. You didn’t break me, Liz. Don’t give yourself that kind of power.”
He spins around and marches into the building. I follow him.
“Finn!” I yell, trying to make him stop so I can catch up. He slows.
“I’m not trying to insinuate that I have any power over you at all. I would never.” I slide his suit coat off my arms and return it to him.
“Finnigan…” a man shouts from the entrance. “Could you join us for a moment?”
He takes his jacket from me. “That’s my boss. If you’ll excuse me.”
My pulse races as he walks away. I can’t blame him for not wanting to talk to me. I walked away from him first. I wish I could explain how I feel, but words always escape me when I need them the most. I’m not even sure I understand what I’m thinking anymore. Seeing him again makes everything a blur. I need to get a grip and fast.
