After a few seconds, George says, "We were just Roating."
George feels their eyes on him, looking him up and down.
Even more than before, he feels the drops of sweat running down his
body. He feels Mark's hand on his leg from under the table, a slight
comforting touch before it retreats back into his lap.
Then he hears Mark change the subject to their boss and the
voices of Mark and Linda start to rant.
George looks down at the wedding ring on his finger. He feels
it tearing apart at his skin like a lie. His palms are wet with sweat. He
pulls himself out of the chair and walks back over to the water cooler,
letting the water fill his cup to the brim. Then he sits back down in the
chair, taking a drink.
