224 Quite the Pair

Adrian sighs as he turns to look at Cassidy who's presently making herself at home in his office. 

"I thought we talked about this already," he started, sighing one more time. 

"We did..." she acquiesced.

"But we're not done talking. I'm serious about what I said."

"I know you are."

"So, why aren't you taking me seriously?"

He swivels on his desk chair, looking up at her. Under the light, he can almost see her eyebags even when she tried to cover them up with make-up. There's been a lot on her mind lately. On top of Damien's kidnapping incident, she's been particularly antsy about Asher's growing distance from them.

He can't blame her, though. He's worried sick too.
