In the morning, Teo had passed Milo in the hallway and simply told him that Salvatore wanted to see him after his morning workout.
"In his office, don't forget, Milo. He said it's not urgent, just after your workout," said Teo.
Milo walked beside him. "Why?"
Teo shook his head. "I don't really know."
Milo just nodded and said thank you, then spent the entire exercise session thinking about it instead of focusing on his form.
He wasn't in trouble. Probably. Alben had stopped trying anything after he locked the door last night. And he hadn't done anything wrong since their last conversation.
He had been careful. Very careful, actually. Maybe too careful, because he really hadn't touched anyone.
Finally, he finished his run. He rested a bit under a tree and wiped his face with his sleeve as he walked down the corridor toward the office.
He felt his stomach tighten. He didn't feel the pain in his muscles, his mind was wandering.
