Summary:
“I was flattered,” he admitted. “Not enough to seriously consider it though.” He shrugged, watching Magnus carefully, and picked up his own glass again.
Magnus looked up at him then with a sharpened gaze. “Why not?”
“Many things, to be honest. I’d miss too many people. There’s a lot of work to do here still. Part of me wondered if they were offering it to me to get me away from New York.”
“From me.” Magnus’ voice was flat with no inflection and Alec winced. He moved to sit next to Magnus and put his glass down on the table so he could take one of Magnus’ hands, his thumb rubbing at one of his rings.
