A faint smile appeared on his lips when she went out.


KLEIN
Hi, attorney! May dala akong red velvet cake dito. Saka white mocha na grande, almond milk.



ANDY
Okay. Thanks.




KLEIN
Attorney?



ANDY
Look, if you have something to say—



Andy was cut off by when he stepped closer to reach for her. His arms wrapped around her softly.



KLEIN
Sorry.



ANDY
Do you really mean it? When you said na namali ka lang ng send?



KLEIN
Oo. Namali talaga ako.





ANDY
Promise?



KLEIN
Promise.



ANDY
Even if you lose all your hard grown muscles overnight?




KLEIN
Hala?




ANDY
Unless that was just an excuse . . .




KLEIN
Oo, promise.




ANDY
Okay.



KLEIN
Bati na ba tayo?




ANDY
Okay.



KLEIN
Hindi ka na galit?



ANDY
I was never mad.



KLEIN
Talaga? Kung 'di ka galit bakit gano'n mga reply mo?




ANDY
I'm not mad. I felt . . . bad.




KLEIN
Ah . . .



He hugged her tighter, and maybe it wasn't much, but Klein was able to breathe when she relaxed her chin on his shoulder.


KLEIN
Sorry, attorney.
