Bennett took note of her pale lips as he helped her sit up before gathering her in his arms. "No, I came back after the meeting." Claudia's brows knitted together.

“You didn't have to. I'm fine. I'm just on my period."

"It's okay. I have no particularly pressing matter to attend to at the company today anyway."

Bennett pulled her close so that her back was pressed against his chest. He then flattened his hand on her abdomen.
