The door closed firmly behind us, and the meeting was officially over. I let out a loud sigh that I had been suppressing. I hadn’t realized up until the moment that we got out of eth room, just how nervous and scared I had really been.
“Was it that bad?” Hayden asked, with a soft laugh as he patted my head.
“I guess…it was…” I whispered.
“You haven’t seen the worst of it…” Hayden said before flashing me an encouraging smile.
I had thought that the one who needed encouragement would be him and not me but I appreciated his gesture nonetheless.
“And I hope that I won’t need to…” I replied.
“I hate this job…” Hayden said softly as if he was talking to himself.
