Liam looks at me with those piercing eyes. We’re inside his hotel room.
His face looks like he’s reading a difficult math problem, deciding how to solve it. I stand motionless, holding the glass of water I allegedly came in here to get. I look back at him and hold his gaze. We both know full well I’m not here for water.
“So what did Dr. Farnham actually say?” He asks casually.
I can go along with that. “He liked the abstract” I reply, lowering my hand with the glass and walk to the window, feeling his eyes running down my body as I turn my back to him. I pause at the window. “He wants to show it to Prof. Alexander for final opinion before we send it in”. I look at the city outside. I’ve been to Prague before, still I feel like I’m in another world right now.
I can make out his reflection in the glass.
