Summary
“So, now that I’ve lured you out of your cave,” Mike starts, and quickly adds as an aside, “And guided you into a casual state of mind with the promise of milkshakes,” before leaning forward to properly meet his eyes, “You wanna tell me what’s wrong?”
Will knew that question was coming, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been dreading it. Putting words to what he’s been going through lately is difficult, at least if he wants to be taken seriously. His earlier attempt had crashed and burned, which is what landed him here in the first place. He needs to be strategic, methodical, cut and dry in his approach.
