Connor hated this, all of this... the fighting, the way things seemed to be with him and Cutter.... he hated how he had reacted, how he was just walking away... but what else could he do?
He called to Rex one more time, unable to turn around and face Cutter as his eyes got blurry from the tears that started to fall. He gave Rex a small pat when he landed on his shoulder and then started toward the door.
Connor almost stopped and turned around, almost apologized for what he had said, but he didn't, he couldn't; there was nothing that he could say just then that would make any of this better. So he kept walking till he was out, the door closing behind him. Then, and only then, did he reach up with his good hand to try and brush away the tears that were sliding down his face.
