Richard didn't talk. Scarlett did not know what to say. It was silent for a while and Scarlett talked first.
"Do you want some water?"
"No, thanks."
"What about some fruit?"
"Are we not close like this now, Scarlett?"
Scarlett was stunned. Richard stayed the same. He looked calm and relaxed, but his words were sharp.
"You haven't changed your habit. When you feel embarrassed, you will ask others to have something to eat." Scarlett had this habit since high school.
"When did you come back?" Scarlett stopped talking nonsense and asked casually, trying to treat Richard as an old friend.
"I've been back for many days."
Richard stopped. Seeing that Scarlett was still uneasy, he took out some kabobs from his bag and handed them to Scarlett.
"You like to eat something when you don't feel well. Have you got rid of this habit?"
"No." Scarlett took the kabobs and laughed awkwardly.
Because of this bad habit, she almost killed herself.
