Hurt Feelings

After Tom and Harry had dropped off Candace at Bryan's new place, they went to the lounge where they usually used to hang out until Lucy showed up in Tom's life with all the accompanying drama.

After they were seated and sipping from their wine glasses, Harry turned to Tom, "So? What's up with you?" Harry asked with interest.

On their way they had agreed to only discuss personal stuff during this hangout, and not talk about work or business.

Tom shrugged, "I'm alright. Sort of anxiously waiting to get the result tomorrow," Tom confessed.

"Why didn't you ask them to speed things up? I mean, they could have easily done that because it's you," Harry said and Tom sighed.

"I didn't want to," Tom said, and Harry raised a brow.

"Why not? You'd rather be anxious all weekend than get the answer you seek easily?" Harry asked and Tom looked away for a moment before looking back at him.
