Chapter 44: Like A Phoenix

Bumping into his muscular wall like chest knocked April back and she staggered before Dean caught her in his powerful arms. She retracted herself from his arms and gave him a fake smile.

"Thanks," April answered politely as she stepped back and walked towards the lift she wanted to run.

Dean was overjoyed at literally bumping into April but she was acting so strange. She had dodged him and looked like a scared kitten, not his like usual wild cat. What had happened for her to avoid him? He followed her into the now waiting lift. He swore he heard her sigh as he entered the lift with her.

April saw Dean enter the small lift with her and she let out a small sigh. He was exactly what she wanted to avoid today. In the small lift his large frame touched her shoulder, his leather-like smelling cologne surrounded her. The short journey felt like forever in this small space.
