Why did he feel like this?

After his rejection, he thought things would return to normal as they always do. Graves had thought things wouldn't change after just one silly refusal of your feelings for him. He is a dangerous man, working a dangerous job, and so are you.

So why now is he watching you from across the room, bandaging a wounded Shadow, an icky feeling arising in his gut? Graves is sure he isn't in love, not now, not in a million years. So why does he find himself craving you?
