“Iris?” An irritable breath escapes me before I have a chance to catch it. “Yes?” Our eyes connect. The nerve endings at the back of my neck tingle. I break contact first, ending the strange feeling before it has a chance to spread. “Thank you for everything.” My eyes snap back to his. Thank you for everything?! I’ve never heard Declan express any gratitude without an ounce of sarcasm. I struggle to find the right words. My silence only adds to the strange tension building between us. Thankfully Declan ends it by entering his office and shutting the door.
