Kyle had barely left the office when Alexander stood and walked over to the lounge. I shifted slightly on the sofa as he approached, watching him settle beside me.
"I'm sorry I didn't come to check on you when you arrived," he said. "I should have at least joined you for dinner."
I turned towards him. "It's fine. I'm sure Kyle told you he brought me back in one piece and that everything was all right."
He seemed to have assumed I was just being sarcastic and still felt the need to say something. "That doesn't mean I shouldn't have come to see you."
I shrugged. "I'm not upset about it, Alexander. I understand that you had other things to deal with."
He studied my face briefly before asking, "How are you?"
I shrugged again. "As fine as I can be now that I'm finally back home."
