Legal assistant, Karen deserves a more respectful title considering everything she does. And no, babysitting three drunks isn't her idea of a good time.
They're fire and fuel, both burning and feeding the other's flames. A dangerous combination if he weren't so good at keeping them under control. She tries to keep herself in check when they're in public, but he makes it so awfully hard with all that wonderfulness and being handsome he's always doing.
She's very sensitive, especially to him; he's under her skin and she has no defenses left. She hums that pleased little note she always hums when he says those three perfect words, this time with a sigh of relief. "Thank you for not being angry." She's still trying to figure out what she did wrong, and she'd expected he would know and would fault her for it. Why wouldn't he fault her for it?
"Maybe. He's handsome and charming and the sort of man a lot of girls would go for. But he's hurting and I don't like hurting him." Verity withdraws her hands from his now, opting instead to move into his lap and wrap her arms around him. She tucks her forehead into the crook of his neck before admitting, "None of this makes sense and I don't like it."
