Ramsey
I returned to my office, partly because my thoughts were all over the place from what I'd read earlier.
I was racking my brain, trying to see what the missing word could be. Did Lyla also know about this? Did she know that she had to die to end the Dark One's reign? I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice when I got to my office until I stood before it.
When I opened the door, I was shocked to see Lenny lounging on the couch, casually drinking wine as if he hadn't been at death's door days ago.
"Lenny!" I exclaimed, rushing forward to embrace him. I ruffled his hair affectionately, feeling the tight knot of anxiety in my chest loosen a bit. "I'm so happy to see you up and about. I was telling Caius moments ago that we need to come see you. Are you properly healed now?"
"Clearly," a dry voice commented from the direction of my desk. "I always knew something was going on between you two. You were never that happy to see me."
