SAVANNAH
I kept myself busy the entire day, avoiding Edward. He was preoccupied with work, so I assumed he had no time for a coffee break. No one in the office knew about our marital issues, but I refused to tell anyone—not even Emma. Brett, who was also my boss, seemed clueless, but if he knew, he was still usually professional.
“Ms. Reed?”
But Brett wasn’t friendly, either. We didn’t dislike each other, but we didn’t like each other either.
“Ms. Reed,” Emma’s voice pushed through my disarrayed mind.
“I’m sorry. What is it?”
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Where were we? Oh, it’s our, uh, current biggest project.”
“I’m sorry. I hope you don’t mind me saying this, but it’s almost seven. Didn’t you say you have an appointment?”
“Seven?” I checked my watch. God. I didn’t notice.
