Hugo shockingly decided to stay behind and even volunteered to buy us dinner to which I agreed to because I want to stay with Landon as much as I can.

  I quickly approached him and sat next to him, “Yeah?”

  “Can we talk for a second?”

  I nod. “Of course.”

  “First of all I am sorry.” He begins to say.

  “I am sorry.”
