More lies

Camille's POV 

"Dad?" 

I paused on the stairs staring at my father. He was supposed to be back at his company's headquarters in California. At least that was where he told me he was going last night.  

Now he had a tee shirt on and looked like he was lounging in the living room, sitting before his laptop.  

"Hey honey," He greeted, tossing me a smile. "Sleep well?" 

I did sleep well. What I did not understand was why he was still home. I had told Gavriel and we had plans to spend the night at his place instead. Now those plans were ruined.   

"What about the trip to headquarters?" 

I tried to play it as subtly as I could. My father had been... What was the word for it? Extra attentive? Yeah, he had been extra attentive. Especially after that call with Nolan.
