Before I leave the resort, I know I have to go speak to Jane. It's the right thing to do, and I've already done a lot of wrong things.

I find her in the dining room eating a late lunch and in conversation with someone from a different company. She breaks away when she sees me.

“Where have you been all day? Are you alright?” she asks.

Maybe I do look unwell.

“No, I’m not feeling too well, and I couldn’t leave my room all morning,” I lie. Jane pats my arm. She has always been nice to me, and I feel terrible about lying to her. “I think I have to go home.”

“Are you sure you want to travel alone? If you’re really that sick, maybe you should stay here and we can get you checked out by a doctor?”

I shake my head vigorously. “Thank you, but no. I think it will be better if I just go home. I’ll be fine on the flight. It’s not that bad. It’s a migraine, but I can’t work with it.”

Jane looks me over and then nods. “Of course, yeah, I understand. There will be more conferences in the future.”

I haven’t been a good team member these last few days. I know that, and I sense maybe Jane is getting signs of it too. She doesn't want to say anything now when I claim I'm sick.

Her expression changes, and I guess someone is standing behind me. I bump into him before I can stop myself or turn around.

“What’s going on here?” Joshua asks. He is like a solid brick wall. Even though I've crashed into him, he doesn't move an inch. I spring away from him like I'm burnt.

“I…I’m leaving. I’m not feeling well. I’m going back to Chicago.” I manage to find my voice. Jane is standing a few feet away from us, watching our interaction.

Joshua pushes his hands into the pockets of his pants. His blue eyes are stormy and pinched. It's like he is trying to burn a hole right through me. What does he want from me? I want to cry. I want him to just talk to me. Tell me we’ll get over this. But he just stares at me for a few moments and then nods.

“Probably a good idea to leave if you’re not feeling well,” he says.

I gulp thirstily. My throat is dry. I feel sick to my stomach. This feels like the last straw—the final proof I need that he doesn't want me around anymore.

“Yeah, I thought so too. Also, I quit,” I add.

I don’t give him a chance to say anything. I just walk past him, fully aware that Jane heard it too and she’ll be shocked and confused by my behavior. In fact, I have now given her
