"No, I'm sorry... I refuse to believe you," he said with a small smile. "Although joking apart, I bet he was most pissed off when you forced him to have a life outside the office."

And if she's not there then..." He looked at Cass. "I just don't know. I've been out of their clutches for nearly a year now."
