FORREST

BILL WAS still in the hospital. I found out he drowned himself with work to prove that the project was viable. I felt like an arsehole for pushing him too hard. He wanted to show his self-worth to me, just like he promised when he agreed to see a therapist after I took him in. Thankfully, he woke up because I couldn’t forgive myself, and I had a lot of guilt that could last a lifetime.

"Don’t do that again. You can always say no to me. You don’t have to prove anything to me. You’ve already proven your worth to the company."

"I know." He looked down. "It wasn’t your fault. I have to admit, I forgot the world outside the lab for a few days after our conference call."

"That was weeks ago. You haven’t been to your flat, haven’t been showered, and changed clothes. Then you ate take-out food and injected yourself with insulin. That’s not healthy, Bill."

His face lit up. "Is that your way of telling me that I look like shit?"
