Kenji walks inside, a little hesitant at first. He peeks at me,his eyes cautious. I never thought I’d be so happy to seehim. But while it’s a relief to see a face I recognize, mystomach immediately twists into a knot of guilt, knockingme over from the inside. I wonder how badly I must’ve hurthim. He steps forward.My guilt disappears.I look more closely and realize he’s perfectly unharmed.His leg is working fine. His face is back to normal. His eyesare no longer puffy, his forehead is repaired, smooth,untouched. He was right.He does have a spectacular face.A defiant jawline. Perfect eyebrows. Eyes as pitch-black ashis hair. Sleek. Strong. A bit dangerous.“Hey, beautiful.”“I’m sorry I almost killed you,” I blurt out.“Oh.” He startles. Shoves his hands into his pockets. “Well.Glad we got that out of the way.” I notice he’s wearing adestroyed T-shirt. Dark jeans. I haven’t seen anyone wearjeans in such a long time. Army uniforms, cotton basics, andfancy dresses are all I’ve known lately.I can’t really look at him. “I panicked,” I try to explain. Iclasp and unclasp my fingers.“I figured.” He cocks an eyebrow.“I’m sorry.”“I know.”I nod. “You look better.”He cracks a grin. Stretches. Leans against the wall, armscrossed at his chest, legs crossed at the ankles. “This mustbe difficult for you.”“Excuse me?”“Looking at my face. Realizing I was right. Realizing youmade the wrong decision.” He shrugs. “I understand. I’m nota proud man, you know. I’d be willing to forgive you.”I gape at him, unsure whether to laugh or throwsomething. “Don’t make me touch you.”
He shakes his head. “It’s incredible how someone can lookso right and feel so wrong. Kent is a lucky bastard.”“I’m sorry—” Psychologist-man stands up. “Are you twofinished here?” He looks to Kenji. “I thought you had apurpose.”Kenji pushes off the wall. Straightens his back. “Right.Yeah. Castle wants to meet her.”
