The sound of knocking startled Camila. She opened her eyes and pushed Connor away, a shy blush spreading across her cheeks.

Lowering her head, she quickly walked to the office door, took a deep breath, and opened it.

"Oh, Camila, you're here," Alan said.

Camila's heart was still racing. She kept her head down, too shy to look at Alan, and replied softly, "I've finished reporting my work," before hurriedly leaving the office. Connor walked to his desk, his gaze darkening as he looked at Alan. His eyes were dark and cold, seeming even colder than the weather outside, causing Alan to shiver.
