Hesitation

Tess just stood there, her face a study in artistic hesitation. Decker stared at her while Tess decided that she was going to say something. But what? Decker's eyes narrowed, but before Tess could continue, he turned on his heel and strode away, disappearing into a crowded conference room without so much as a nod in her direction. Tess watched him go, feeling a pang of disappointment and frustration at having lost the opportunity to discuss her work with him. She took a deep breath and continued down the hallway, wondering what she could have done differently to change his demeanor. Tess watched as Decker found a new character for his story. One she would no longer be in. THE END.
