Lapse [h.s]

I want to protect her, be there for her.

She would repulse me if she ever found out, if she found out I knew her before before any of this. Before I hired her to work for me. Before she even moved back to New York.
She doesn't even know me. This week has been the first she's ever talked to me, or even laid her eyes on me.

I'll keep her safe for as long as she allows me to.
