Chapter 15

• Nathaniel's POV
• I hadn't meant to open the folder that night. In fact, I had told myself—firmly, logically—that I would wait until morning. After a night's sleep, after a little distance. After I could talk to her with clarity, or at the very least with a steadier hand. But the truth is, I never really intended to wait. The folder might as well have been breathing on the edge of my desk, each silent minute thickening the air between us.
