Talks About… II 54C

=“What did you have to apologize for?” Shane asked.

She could tell he did not like hearing that. “Well I did run away.” She rested her left foot on her right knee, sitting hunched over on her P stool.

“He kissed you without permission.”

“But he texted to make sure I was okay and apologized and I didn’t reply. They said they were worried.” He scoffed. “I didn’t ask to speak to them remember. Don’t be mad at me.” She frowned.

“I’m not mad. I just think you didn’t have anything to apologize for. They’re the ones who made the mistake of going after you.”

“Bradley did say it was a mistake.”

“Clearly. It got way too complicated.” He sighed. Seconds passed, she waited patiently to hear what he will say next, moving around her big toe. “Well, they apologized, that’s all that matters. Which is mature on their part. So you’re feeling better now?”

She sat up straight with a bright smile she wished he can see. “Loads better.”
