They both look concerned. Did I do something alarming? They were just arguing, or did I imagine that too, what were they arguing about, why couldn’t I remember anymore? They look like their normal selves. I stand there just as confused as they are. Tobias breaks the silence. His voice forcing me out of my own head.

  “Imogen…Imogen what’s wrong? Are you hurt?” He seems to sniff the air lightly for a second. I tilt my head observing them. They look between themselves. The room starts to warp and spin, I see Tobias shove past Theo reaching for me. My muscles feel so heavy. Oh no I know what this is, I am having a panic attack. Shit. I try to breathe, but my body gives up functioning and I can’t catch my breath. The next thing I see is darkness.

  Coming to… I groggily lift myself onto my elbows but am forced down by Theo’s hand on my shoulder. “Woah there lay back down for a bit.” I stare, confused. I am laying on the brown leather lounge in Tobias’s office. I can see him sitting on the edge of his desk, his arms folded across his chest making him appear even more intimidating than usual. Concern etched on his face as he stares back. Theo on the other hand is sitting beside where I lay on the lounge rubbing my legs. Shit, I did something embarrassing, I know it.

  “What happened?” I ask, completely confused; I try to think of the last thing I remember. But only remember eavesdropping on a conversation between Tobias and Theo about… Then not being able to breathe, and then darkness.

  “You fainted, just lay down for a bit and here drink this,” says Tobias, walking back over with a glass of water in his hand. I sit up and lean against the armrest. Reaching out I grip the ice-cold glass of water, my fingertips brushing Tobias. He rips his hand away like I burnt him before moving back to his desk.

  After a few minutes, a knock sounds on the door. Tobias tells them to enter, and a leggy blonde woman steps into the office with a few Styrofoam food cartons in her hand. It smelt like Chinese food. The blonde woman peered around the room, unsure of what to do. Her light blue eyes dart to each of us frantically until she sees Theo and she freezes.

  She was incredibly attractive; she had a white suit pants on and a blazer with a black singlet top.
