As Dominic spoke, Kyle picked up his nearly-empty coffee cup. He regretted breaking his own rule and giving into the need for it -- it always made him wired, and with a trigger like anxiety, overcaffeination was taking a risk. The cup was halfway to his mouth when Dominic flatly explained what had rattled him so well, and it never quite made it there.
"You -- what?" Kyle asked, caught completely off guard. He set his cup down again just short of spilling it all over himself. Whatever he had expected to hear, it wasn't that. Frankly, Kyle was just as shocked that Dominic was telling him as he was by the news itself. Dominic was a careful sort of individual; it was hard to get anything out of him, though Kyle had never been one to really pry. Everyone had their own business, and Kyle minded his own.
But when information was volunteered, that was another story. "Found out how?" he asked, keeping his voice low.
