It wasn’t a question. I gave him a small smile and turned away, feeling his eyes on me until the elevator doors closed.
The marketing department buzzed with morning energy when I arrived. Nova was already at her desk, typing furiously.
“Morning,” I called, setting my bag down.
She glanced up, eyes narrowing. “You look different.”
“Different, how?”
