Stacey's pov•••

I was a little less worried knowing that I was going to see Kevin today. Not making my presence known I made my way to my desk.

"Umm can I please help you?" An unfamiliar lady was sitting at my desk. Where is all my stuff. What is going on? The girl didn't have an attitude so I replied as nice as possible.

"Uhh yes please. This is my area and I was just wondering what are you doing sitting at my desk, I'm sorry I'm just a bit confused" I laughed even though this was no laughing matter for me I'm clearly pissed that my stuff was touched.

"Oh you must be Stacey " she smiled making me even more confused.

"I'm new here, my name is Daisy it's so nice to meet you" she stretched her hand out to shake mines...ok. I just smiled as she released my hand.

"Your things have been moved to in there" she pointed and my eyes followed to the direction where her finger had pointed. There was door next to Devin's office Isn't that Mr.Findley's office? I looked around the place seeing no signs of Devin. I sat down in front of Daisy who was typing away on her computer.

"Hey Daisy what happened to Mr.Findley?" I raised an eyebrow .

"I don't know...some people said that he moved out of town "

"Oh" I nodded my head and went straight to my new office I guess.

"Pida" I smirked at my last name that was engraved into the door. I opened the door and quickly went in closing the door. I turned on the light being surprised with a bunch of flowers and balloons. Awwww, I smiled at the many variety of flowers. I also recognized all of my things in perfect positions. I sat down and picked one of the flowers to read the card:Sorry it read. I turned the card over and read the the name of who it was from....Devin. I felt my heart jump and not in a good way. I checked all the flowers, they were all from him. Well isn't this a twisted bitter sweet surprise. I sighed and sat back down. The door open and it was the one and only Devin.

"Nice to see that you are back" he walked in and sat down in a chair.

"Yeah I guess " showing no emotion in my voice.

"I decided that it would be nice to give you your own space so I gave you your own office" he grinned.

"I see that there is a new girl sitting at my use to be desk" I noted.

"Yeah" the room got quite so I spoke up.

"That's nice" I looked everywhere but at him.

"Look Stacey I'm sorry for making your job more difficult than what its supposed to be. But I'm I've been looking up this Kevin dude and his record isn't clean " I rolled my eyes tell me something I don't know.

"I know and I don't really care " I said in all honesty. Yeah it did kind of bother me at first when me and Kevin first met considering that it was in prison, but not anymore.

"He told you?"

"No.we actually met in prison during one of my sessions " I said like it was no big deal. I looked up at Devin, I saw his chest rise up and down as if he was trying to calm himself down.

"Look Stacey, I really like you...you and I both know that just please stay away from him. He's no good" I was now heated, how could he judge someone by their past? He hasn't even had a conversation with Kevin.

"Why are you even judging him by what he did? I know actions speak louder than words but you don't even know the guy. He's very caring and sweet. If you got to know him you wouldn't have ever thought that he was a murderer" not showing a hint of anger,I started to search through my emails waiting for a response from him.
