Her tone was filled with worry.

I quickly looked out the window and realized it was already dusk, and the sky had dimmed.

I was amazed at how quickly time had flown by. Atlas and I had spent the entire afternoon together. Yet, it seemed like there were still many unanswered questions.

"Oh, come on! What could happen at the office? Don't worry, I'm fine."
