I suppose I shouldn't have said the things I said, but in all honesty I am hurting right now and confused and I took it out on you."
She then wiped her face with the sleeve of her shirt and waited for them to reach her office door so he could put her down and then maybe she could see about finding a new job in the Ministry...
Finally reaching her office, Ethan walked through the opened door as it was never closed from before. Still in the same spot was the letter that he read from before and that damn bloody, evil looking bird was still in the room. He walked her over and gently placed Antigone in the chair, sighed and stepped back.
And yet, what just came from her lips was the very thing that he was going through just in different terms. "Confusion, I can understand...somewhat," he began as he stepped away from her, finally feeling the teary wet stain that was left from her. He was terrible in the worst way. "And...you have every right to take your anger out on me." His eyes looked towards the floor as he nibbled slightly on his upper lip.
"I shall be here early every morning, just as you have asked," he nodded his head as his eyes fell slightly towards her and then back to the floor. He then turned to walk towards the door and back to his cubical.
