"Oh." Chris stared at his shoes and frowned. "OK."

"Sorry..."

"No, it's all right," Chris said. "I mean, I didn't really expect you to... Well, anyway, it's done and over with now."

Jonny nodded along, and for a few minutes afterward they were both silent.

"Well," Chris finally said, "I best be heading out now, I think. Got a long day ahead of me."

"See you tomorrow, man," Jonny smiled.

Chris returned the smile halfheartedly, then slowly made his way out the door. He began to walk back to his apartment, feeling very down and almost lost. But along the way, something laying on the ground caught his eye.

See what it is!
Keep walking.
