In the days since that night, the air between you and Damon had frozen solid—silent, brittle, laden with everything left unsaid.

His voice is stripped of warmth. "you... please submit the project I gave you yesterday by the end of the day." His pen taps the blotter once, twice. Then he waits, his gaze a silent challenge.
