He was going to give her a hard look when she questioned his appearance, but he caught the icy tears on her cheek and he stopped. His heart stopped. Rhyme felt himself using all of his will power to keep from kissing the tear off her cheek. He took a deep breath, steeling his resolve as he backed away a step. Rhyme was going to have to tread carefully, for himself and for her.
He tilted his head as he cleared his expression, putting on a happy face. "You sound surprised to see me, I am still your alpha partner right?" He asked innocently, framing his question as a gentle tease and not a real inquiry. Rhyme felt oddly calm then, especially considering the cold fear he had struggled with since her return was coming to fruition. His heart should have been beating a mile a minute, Maybe he was wrong.
He tried to hang on to that thought, much too suspicious of the tears staining her dark fur. His ears had slowly sunk to his skull, and he couldn't keep his gaze from her worried eyes.
