A Cuppa
FORREST
BILL WAS still in the hospital. I found out he drowned himself with work to prove that the project was viable. I felt like an arsehole for pushing him too hard. He wanted to show his self-worth to me, just like he promised when he agreed to see a therapist after I took him in. Thankfully, he woke up because I couldn’t forgive myself, and I had a lot of guilt that could last a lifetime.
/"Don’t do that again. You can always say no to me. You don’t have to prove anything to me. You’ve already proven your worth to the company./"
/"I know./" He looked down. /"It wasn’t your fault. I have to admit, I forgot the world outside the lab for a few days after our conference call./"
/"That was weeks ago. You haven’t been to your flat, haven’t been showered, and changed clothes. Then you ate take-out food and injected yourself with insulin. That’s not healthy, Bill./"
