“What?” She looks surprised and a bit disappointed. That’s crazy considering she didn’t know when I could come back.
“Some information has come to light and I can’t bring myself to work here anymore, even if you did allow me to come back.”
“Piper,” she says my name like she intends for me to stay.
“Thank you for the opportunity,” I continue, backing out of the room. “I won’t forget it.”
