This is so damn annoying. Jenna has been sitting in the back of the office, staring at me since I’ve been here. When the twins left, I figured the door opening was the first meeting they wanted me to handle in their place after putting me in charge. I was very wrong; it was Jenna. She walked into the office, didn’t say a word, and sat in the back of the room.

Jenna has been sitting there through 3 meetings, saying nothing. The tapping just started about 20 minutes ago. Jenna is tapping her nail on the back of her phone. It’s a bit annoying, but I’m more interested in what Jenna will do next.

I continue to work, not looking or speaking to her. I make sure the patrol schedules are taken care of and factor in the specifics from my earlier meetings. I want to make sure the twins are set up with everything when they get back. A throat clears, causing me to look up.

Jenna’s eyes are burning into me, but she says nothing. I look at her for a bit before returning my eyes to the paperwork. A throat clears again, and I slowly look up at Jenna. She continues to stare and say nothing. Jenna finally speaks before my eyes drop back down. “Well?” I shrug my shoulders and start to drum my fingers on the desk. “Are you going to speak?”

“I’m not sure what you expect me to say.” Jenna sighs and shifts in her seat.

“I’ve been sitting here this entire time-”

“No one asked you to.”

“I’VE been sitting here this entire time, waiting for you stop being busy.” I slant my head and look at her.

“Why?”

“Why? So you can admit your mistake and fix things.”

“My mistake?” Jenna looks up and huffs. When she looks back at me, I can see a fire in her eyes. She stands up, steps to the side, and places her hands on her hips.
