Don't Run From This

You ended it. Told him - your co-director at the firm - that it was a mistake. A silly, short-lived fling that smoldered and burnt itself out on arguments, backstabbing and ultimately… implosion.

But tonight, at the rooftop party, you're laughing just a little too loud at his expense. And he hears everything. He should walk away. Let it go. Be professional, focus on the firm and move on… But that's never been who he is with you. Because whatever this was, it was never casual. It was consuming, all-encompassing, something neither of you could name.

And when he finally pulls you aside into a quiet hallway away from the party, it's not to talk. You tried to bury what happened between you. He's about to dig it all back up.
