Just for half a second.
Then he bent down quickly and grabbed it.
Way too quickly.
"Didn't know I still had that in there," he muttered.
"Still had that"?
I stared at him, caught between disbelief and curiosity.
"You carry two phones?" I asked, trying to keep my voice normal, though it seemed so weird to me .
He didn't answer immediately. He slipped the second phone into his other pocket like it was nothing. Like it belonged there.
"Work," he said simply.
"You're not on call today," I pressed, trying to understand.
"I know.",he replied arranging his shirt
"Then?" I asked out of curiosity.
Finally, he looked at me. And he smiled.
But it didn't reach his eyes.
"You ask a lot of questions for someone who claims she's fine," he said lightly, the corners of his mouth tugging upward, teasing but unreadable.
I laughed, though something inside me stayed stiff for a m moment
"Me? Asking questions?" I teased, trying to play it off.
