Love Only Grows
Summary: Warrick takes another job in New York; how will the team deal with his decision? Will the one person who truly loves him tell him…before it's too late?
A.N.: There is a mention of events occurring in 'Playing with Fire'. I don't know how bad the spoilers are, but I suggest you watch the episode first…just to be safe. Better safe than sorry in my opinion.
Ten - Bobby Cuts a Deal
Warrick failed to smile as he finished his piano solo; just like he'd failed to smile the night before and the one before that. In fact, he hadn't smiled since he'd returned to work the week before.
Jimmy and Bobby had noticed it. The band had noticed it. Even Faith regulars had noticed.
He couldn't even force a smile when Bobby had threatened to dock his pay. Grams had always told him, "No point in doing things by halves."
When he went off stage at the end of the song to get a drink, Bobby cornered him. "What do you want Bo?" he sighed, rubbing his tired eyes.
"I want to know what bug up your butt died! Ever since you've gotten back from LV, you haven't been yourself. It's rubbing off on the band. And to be frank, I'm worried." Bobby placed an understanding hand on Warrick's shoulder. "What happened in LV?"
Warrick shrugged off his hand and side-stepped Bobby to go back on stage. Bobby stopped him. "Nothing happened. I just…I just…" Warrick trailed off.
"Miss home," Bobby supplied. Warrick nodded. "Look I'll cut you a deal: if you agree to do two more months here whilst I find another pianist, your contract can be severed and you can go home."
Warrick smiled bright and genuine.
:sniff: Tomorrow's the last chapter. What is Warrick going to do!
