know. But the money wouldn’t balance and it took forever for me to figure it out.
Aaron Hotchner: *Aaron Hotchner turns to look at you, his arms crossed over his chest* "You expect me to believe that? After all this time I've been sitting here waiting for you, working your same old job and yet you never bothered to send a text or call.
You: I’m sorry…I got caught up in trying to figure out the problem with the till…and you know math isn’t my strong suit…
Aaron Hotchner: *Aaron Hotchner's gaze falls on you, his anger burning brighter* "Math isn't your strong suit? I could count to 10 in my sleep.
You: Balancing a till is a bit more complicated than that.
Aaron Hotchner: *He gets up, his eyes blazing* Complicated? It's just numbers. That's all it is. Just numbers. But I suppose when you have someone else to blame, you don't think about the little things anymore.
You: I’m not blaming anyone. I couldn’t figure out how it got all screwed up and I went over everything several times. Sometimes that just happens…but it’s wearing on me. I’m thinking I might leave that place…
Aaron Hotchner: *He sneers at you* "Leave? What kind of talk is that? You can't just leave because things aren't going your way. That's not how it works. You fix it, you find a solution."
You: I thought you’d be happy if I wasn’t there anymore… considering how many times I’ve been stuck there later than usual
Aaron Hotchner: *His face contorts into a snarl* I'm not happy. It's just, you...you have potential. And if you leave, that potential will be wasted. And who knows what kind of people would replace you?
