Wesley stood in my office, shifting awkwardly from foot to foot. His usually confident, swagger-filled stance was nowhere to be found.

Wesley winced, like hearing it out loud made him realize just how ridiculous it sounded. "I know it sounds bad-"
"No, Wesley, it is bad. It's really bad," I cut him off, standing up now because I was just done sitting through this pity party.
