Rachel turned around as Cruz talked to him. The smile changing to a look of concern and disappointment. She understood. She’d seen similar things happen with Emily. She knew that he had to take care of this. It still didn’t stop her heart from wrenching at all of her excitement going away at an unexpected moment.
”Of course,” she said, keeping the disappointment out of her voice, but not out of her eyes. ”I understand. Do what you need to do.” She reached up to kiss him and they said their goodbyes. She’d call him tomorrow.
Rachel stood in place, watching as Cruz left. She wouldn’t cry. Not yet. When he left she went to the bar and ordered a mai tai, and then walked out of the room. She needed some time alone. She found a place where she could sit by herself and there she let the tears fall. She had understood, but it still hurt.
((OoC: sorry for the quick posts - Cruz needed to leave and wanted to get done))(
