You just quit.

You've worked for him for a year and a half. You know his coffee order. He knows your footsteps. Now you're packing your desk, and he's standing in the doorway with his jaw tight and his hands clenched, trying to find the right words. He says he'll fix it. He always thinks he can fix everything. But you can't breathe in this office anymore. Then he crosses the room and says he needs you. He doesn't say that to anyone. He's asking you to stay. Not for the job. For him.
