“I’m sorry this went down the way it did,” RT said, standing as well.
“It wasn’t your fault,” Z replied, looking directly into RT’s eyes, wanting the man to realize he meant those words. RT was the type to take everything on himself, even the irresponsible actions of a man like Kevin.
“It’ll get better from here,” RT said, smiling, though it was obiously forced. “I promise.”
Yeah, well, Z wasn’t so sure RT could ensure that, but Z wasn’t going to disagree. After all, Z didn’t hold RT responsible for any of it. He was only human; there was no way he could’ve seen this coming.
“Smooth sailing from here on out,” Z replied with a smile as he moved toward the door.
“Why’re you limping?” RT asked as Z placed his hand on the doorknob, anxious to put some distance between him and RT. When the man showed his softer side, he only enraptured Z more, and that wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
“Huh?” He didn’t bother to turn around.
“You’re limping. Is somethin’ wrong with your leg?”
Peering at RT over his shoulder, Z smiled. “Cramp.”
RT’s eyes narrowed, and Z knew his boss didn’t believe him, but he wasn’t going to go into detail. The man had enough to worry about as it was.
“See you on Monday?” RT asked as Z opened the door.
“Monday.” With that, Z left, feeling the heat of RT’s gaze trailing him as he did.
As he hobbled out of the office, he had to wonder whether or not Kevin’s termination would also mean the end of his relationship with RT. It shouldn’t matter to Z, but for some strange reason, it did.
