When I said goodbye to Wallace, I felt a world in my throat.

He would not let Aaron die because of his supposed illness.

I bit my lips, I was embarrassed to watch Aaron, I didn't have his money and I wouldn't know what he would tell me when he got to his workshop, all I knew was that I had to be brave enough to confront him before he risked his life.

I parked the slider in front of Aaron's workshop. Before he said anything or even our eyes met, I lowered my head in regret.

"I brought shrimp to eat" I said, holding up a paper bag.

"I've already eaten and if you don't come up with the money you owe me, you'd better turn around, have some shame and try to collect my money " said Aaron making me feel more to sorry for coming.

"I could at least hang out" I said.

"No" Aaron replied without hesitation, " you scare away my customers".
