Verma had been stunned into silence, but it had been broken by a strange noise which turned out to be Gabe choking on his water, before letting out a great guffaw of laughter. I’d stared at him, mesmerised by the beauty of his face when it relaxed into laughter. I’d been so taken aback at the notion of working with such a good-looking man, that I’d failed to realise that it would be the last time that I’d see him laugh. Verma had worked there for fifteen years, and I’d be prepared to bet that it was the first time that his face had ever cracked a smile in front of her.
