“We also have cause to believe that both are also linked with Killian’s recent trauma.”
Her eyes are wide, as she stares up at Graham, and she immediately knows there’s tears there. Stupid, traitorous feelings.
She’s not sure why she’s so shocked, because she pretty much knew it wasn’t an accident. Hers? Perhaps. But with Killian’s accident so close to hers and in such a similar way? She knew that it couldn’t have been a coincidence. Not that she believes in coincidences, anyway.
Maybe, she’s in denial. Maybe she’s still just reeling in from the news of the accident.
“Excuse me?”
Her voice cracks, when she speaks, and she knows it’s because of the emotion welling in her chest, the way the tears are beginning to spill out from her eyes.
She watches as Graham’s hands reach out towards her before they drop back to his sides with a loud sigh, as he seemingly thinks better of reaching for her. He doesn’t repeat himself though, he merely stares up at her with those big, pitiful eyes of his.
“I’m sorry, Ems,” he says, slowly. “I’m really sorry.”
