   When Anna reached Ares's doorstep, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Ares opened the door and when he saw Anna he closed it back. Anna felt guilty because she thought Ares was mad at her for making him bleed.
 
   "Hey, please open the door. I'm sorry for what I did. I didn't mean to hurt you-" Anna did not get to finish her sentence when Ares opened the door again.

   "Get in." Said Ares monotoned.

   Anna got in and she was surprised to see his hostel room was clean and tidy.

   "Make yourself at home." Said Ares while opening the windows.

   "Sorry for making your hand bleed." Said Anna while looking at her hands.

   "Nah, It's not your fault. Don't worry." Said Ares while holding his wrist.

   "Can I see how bad is it?" Asked Anna while reaching out towards Ares's wrist.

   "No! Don't worry. I'm fine." Said Ares pulling his hand away from Anna.

   'I like you and I'm worried.' Those words can't escape out of Anna's mouth.

   "Were you about to say something?" Asked Ares.

   "Umm... No, uhh... How about we go out somewhere?" Anna changed the topic.

   After realising what she said, Anna covered her mouth.

   "Yea, sure. I'm kinda hungry. Drinks on me!" Said Ares cheerfully.

   Anna's eyes sparkled. She didn't expect Ares would want to go out with her. Ares took his wallet and his car keys and opened the door. Anna saw how Ares have changed in just seconds. From how normal he was and how cheerful he is now. Anna walked out the door and followed Ares to his car.
