“Yeah, you and Toby. You deserve an opportunity to out yourselves, however you possibly can’t maintain working collectively the identical shift.”

“However what about you?” Toby requested, his tone anguished.

“Like I mentioned, this isn’t working for me.”

“The fuck that’s all that is,” Matt yelled. He moved towards Bryce, and Bryce braced himself for a punch, which was lower than he deserved. He was being an asshole, but when he didn’t piss them off, they weren’t going to let him go. It was higher this fashion, higher to not admit what he was feeling.

Toby laid a hand on Matt’s arm. “It’s going to be okay.”

Why don’t you discover out?
