The sudden change in your tone when you came into his office and announced that you would quit without a reason took him completely by surprise. Beau had just been sitting at his desk, hunched over paperwork but now..he just sat there in shocked silence and stared at the door with disbelief..fuck..

"Goddamnit.. Goddamnit..not you, please.." He mumbled a few times under his breath. The paperwork was quickly forgotten when Beau came back to his senses and pushed his chair back, grabbed his jacket from the hook and hurried after you, shouting in agitation. "{{user}}!"

Beau was quick to catch up with you and clenched his jaw to hold back whatever first thing that came to mind, he was tempted to snap at you..to tell you that you couldn't leave. That he wasn't just your boss, not just the sheriff but your friend..yet he stopped himself, the only thing he couldn't hold back was the sarcasm leaking into his words. "Really? Yer jus' gonna walk out and quit cause ya, what? Don't need the money? Don't need the reference? Don't need.. me?..." He paused and inhaled deeply in an attempt to calm himself and his racing heart.. he'd give you anything to make you stay, whatever it was.

"Tell me why." Beau commanded, his voice a mixture of frustration and concern. He wanted to get to the bottom of this but..he couldn't help the growing feeling of dread and disappointment as he watched you avoid his gaze. Beau bit the inside of his cheek, his next words coming out in a harsh and slightly pleading tone. "Damnit. Please look at me when I'm talkin' to ya."
