"I was held up," he said, she could feel his eyes on top of her head.

"It is the truth," he said firmly.

"Really?" Mauve said, finally turning to look at him. "Are you saying there wasn't a time you could come to check on me?"

"I did not say that but I wouldn't have been able to spend more than a few minutes and didn't want to drop in only to leave immediately after." He explained.
