    Summary

    "You are doing this on purpose," Ilya accused.

    Shane looked up, perfectly innocent. "Doing what on purpose?"

    "The—" Ilya gestured. "This. The—the organizing."

    "The organizing that I do. Every Thursday. Like I have for the entire time we've been together."

    "You know what you're doing."

    Shane's lips twitched. Just barely. But Ilya saw it. "I'm folding a hoodie."

    Summary

    The man straightened a little, like he was preparing for a performance. “Security,” he said with a nod.
    Henry raised an eyebrow. “I didn’t know the Conellis had hired security.”
    “Should they have told you?” the man asked, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
    Henry blinked, caught a bit off guard. “Well... not necessarily. I just... I own the bookstore.” He pointed toward Fox & Pages. “Right there.”
    Recognition dawned in the man’s expression. “That’s your store? With the cute string lights in the window? That place looks incredibly cozy. Like, dangerously easy to spend hours in.”
    Henry chuckled, surprised by the genuine enthusiasm. “That’s the idea.”
    The man laughed—a rich, warm sound that made Henry’s skin tingle.
    “I’ll have to stop by sometime,” he said. “Who should I ask for?”
    “Henry,” he replied. “And you are...?”
    “Alex.”

    Summary

    Then Henry’s phone rang. He stopped mid-stride, reached into his pocket, and pulled out his phone. Raised it to his ear. And that’s when it happened.
    The sleeve.
    It moved.
    Just a little. Just enough. It slid maybe an inch—barely more than a breath—and something underneath it caught the light.
    Alex squinted. Sat up straighter. Leaned a little over his desk.
    Was that… ink?
    No, come on. That had to be a shadow or something. A stray pen mark? A coffee stain? But as Henry turned slightly, it caught the light again. Definitely not a coffee stain.
    Alex’s jaw dropped.
    Was that a tattoo?
    No. No way. Not Henry Fox, HR's golden boy, the man who breathed punctuality and probably had emergency spreadsheets laminated in his sock drawer. Mr. Regulation Tie Length. Mr. "Let's Circle Back On That."
    But it was a tattoo. Or the start of one. A black curve just under the cuff. A line. A flick of something—like a wing? Or a piece of script? Hard to tell. But it was there.

    Or Alex thinks Henry is attractive but boring until he discovers more and more of his tattoos

    Summary

    Hayden finds Lily’s contact and touches the little call button.

    After a short time, the call connects. “Shane,” a breathless sound reaches his ear, a broken heavy Russian accent cut off by a choked up sob. “You scared me.”

    Hayden hangs up.
