He Placed Her On His Lap

"Merry, can we just talk?"

" What for?" - She immediately retorted.

" Cause I'm tired of these games." - in his voice, she heard a plea that very surprised her: "What is he up to now?"

"Roger, it's not me who's starting all these games. You can believe it or not, but I didn't want any of our last meetings, and especially didn't initiate it." - he winced at the words.

"You mean you never wanted to see me for all these 13 years?" - he asked with some kind of childish hurt in his voice.

" No!" - Merry immediately cut off without thinking. And let him decide that this is from indifference or something else. He does not need to know the truth.
