When Astrid reached her night classes, she noticed Eli had a serious expression on his face. As if something was bothering him. His jaw ticked multiple times when he looked at his mobile phone and his fists clenched hard. She decided to sit next to him and observe him.
Towards the end of their night class, she placed her hand on his wrist and he looked at her in surprise.
`What's wrong Astrid?', he asked, baffled at her touch.
`I am supposed to ask you that', she crossed her hands over her chest.
`It's nothing',
`You mean nothing by the way your face contorts like you gonna murder someone and your fists balling up to punch someone. Yeah, no. I don't believe, ya', she told him, looking at him in the eyes and expecting him to cough up the truth.
`Seriously, it's just some small issue. I can take care of it', he put his hands through his hair, messing it.
