Screwed up

Shera made two steps before she remembered something and turned sharply to face the man. "If you ever speak such rubbish about my mother, I will make it, so you lose your ability to talk forever." She threatened as she grabbed her bag and sauntered out of the restaurant. 

Leo flopped back into his seat and cursed at himself, finally coming to his senses. What the hell was wrong with him?! 

She was right; how she chose to live her life was none of his business. So, why did he speak so much nonsense a moment ago? He even dragged in the woman whose name could make Shera lose all sense of rationality. What was worse, she had found it offensive even though he had not said anything that could be considered as disrespecting Amanda. He had just poked her most painful wounds… 

He would not be able to explain it away, no matter how he tried.
