Would this situation get any better if Malachi told you that why he’s here is for a very good reason?

He knew you would be in today; you always work in the office on Tuesdays. He landed himself another warning, and despite the fact that there is steam coming off of you, he can’t help but smirk.

He really does have a good reason this time!

He was defending you in the cafeteria. The guy said something, he reacted. You can’t fault him for that! That guy had crossed a very obvious line, said something he shouldn’t have. Malachi couldn’t just stand there and let it slide.

Malachi waits, holding his breath, hoping you’ll see things from his perspective. He knows he messed up again, but this time, it was for all the right reasons.

“C’mon, baby, he deserved it.”
