Kingsley folded his legs one upon another. His large warm hands clutched her hands in his palms.
Fondling her hands, he tried to warm them up. He was holding her hands the whole time.
They spent a long time at the police station. The police asked Sherman a lot of questions since she was in charge of the project.
Sherman was frank and she made it very clear. She just took over the project in the middle. She told the police they needed to ask Yanny about the specifics because she didn't know much about the previous work.
Kingsley was sitting next to her. She was talking, and he was listening. She wanted to deal with it on her own, so he stayed out of it. She was going to do things her way. If she couldn't handle it, he would step in and help her. He would always protect her.
All the questions the police asked were basic inquiries. The police recorded their statements. But it was just the beginning, far from the end.
When Kingsley and Sherman walked out of the police station, the manager went up to greet Kingsley.
Kingsley looked nonchalant, not distant nor close.
They got into the silver Mulsanne. All of a sudden,
Kingsley hugged Sherman in his arms. His slightly stubbled chin rubbed against her neck. He was emotional and affectionate, "I missed you so much..."
Sherman leaned over, and she had her arms around his waist, "Me too."
They hadn't seen each other in a long time. They both were emotional. Kingsley kissed her intensely.
The two embraced and kissed passionately. Sitting in the car, they had the world to themselves. No one could disturb them. They just sat in the car, holding each other.
The embrace after a long separation was the most wonderful and pleasant thing than any other moment.
After a while, Kingsley drove the car and headed to Sherman's apartment. He drove with one hand. The two kept their hands clasped together on the whole way.
Getting back at the apartment, Sherman brought him a glass of warm water, "Are you hungry? I'll go make you some food."
