He looked exhausted.
“You shouldn't be here.”
“I know.”
“Go home.”
“No.”
“Nora.”
“You don't get to disappear.”
He looked at me.
“I thought I was protecting you.”
“You were hurting me.”
“I can't lose you.”
“You almost did.”
He stepped closer.
I touched his face.
“Come home.”
“I can't.”
“Yes, you can.”
I showed him the evidence we'd found.
Marcus had forged the files.
The truth was finally visible.
Adrian stared.
Then smiled.
“You found it.”
“We found it.”
