Kellen was rushing to make it on time for his meeting. As someone who had arrived early every other time, he felt terrible. The worst part? He was still making sure his clothing was correct in the elevator as he was coming down from their apartment.
His face was flushed, he was sure it was obvious what he had been up to, and this felt like the first time he had truly slipped up. The times before this? They didn't count since half of them had been from Rhys trying to bother Kellen just to get him to notice him.
The other half? Kellen just didn't count them.
The elevator opened and Kellen moved quickly out of the metal box, turning towards the cafeteria and found that most of the Guides were there already, as well as a surprise repeat guest.
