Hour Seven
He and I were both focused on chewing rather than speaking with each other. It was awkward, eating lunch during dinnertime.
I tried my hand at this conversation matter, I did want to make this work. "Sorry ah..."
He stopped chewing for a second, and with a raised brow, swallowed his spoonful. "Saan naman?"
Okay, maybe starting a conversation by apologizing isn't the ideal way to go... but I've opened Pandora's box, there's no way of closing it back down.
I thought for a minute. I was apologetic for many reasons... how do I encapsulate it?
"For being like this..."
He slowly laid his hand over my own free one, entangled them, and spoke reassurance into my head in such a simple way.
"Never be."
