'Why did she refuse his money? Should he have even offered in the first place?'

'Did she find him so appalling she would reject money from him, something he didn't even care much for?'

It had been a kind gesture from him but she had downright rejected it, rejected him.

That had been his way of apologizing for what he'd said to her on the plane, he hadn't known how else to have expressed he was sorry.

"Şɧɛ ɧąŧɛŞ ყơų." It spoke.

"ı ŧơٳɖ ყơų Şɧɛ'Ş ŧřơųცٳɛ." He ignored its voice.

It shrieked in anger.

"Şɧɛ ɧąŧɛŞ ყơų, Şɧɛ ɧąŧɛŞ ყơų." It continued.

"How can she hate me when she doesn't even know me?" He asked.

"Şɧɛ'Ş ŋơŧ ıŋŧɛřɛŞŧɛɖ ıŋ ą ცřơҠɛŋ Ćřɛąŧųřɛ ٳıҠɛ ყơų. Şɧɛ'Ş ıŋŧơ ŧɧɛ ɠơơɖ ơŋɛŞ, ŧɧɛ ĆɧųřĆɧ ɠơıŋɠ Ҡıŋɖ." It mocked but he didn't care.
