PHOEBE
there's a bulletproof bond
What bite there was in his tone made her falter, her expression dropping immediately. "Well...yes, I mean..." But he cut her off, and she fell silent. Phoebe bit her lip, suddenly wishing she could disappear. His intense gaze, which usually held such warmth and playfulness, turned to stone, and in an instant he seemed a completely different person than the handsome, kind rogue she had come to know.
Slowly she pieced together what had happened. He must've come at the normal time, and she didn't. Dinner didn't get made and so he went out to find her. "I-I'm sorry I'm late. I lost track of time while I was working, I'm sorry dinner is late, I didn't mean to..." she said quietly, eyes cast down to the floor. She clearly thought he was more upset about the break in routine than about her specifically.
