Dylan's gaze was fixated on Xiu with a mellow look radiating through his eyes. He observed her radiant smile, the way the sunlight shone at the side of her head making her appearance seem gentler than he had been used to.
It took him a moment before he turned to look around himself and pointed at himself, "Are you saying that to me?"
"Who else is here?" retorted Xiu with a mildly annoyed look on her face. She took a deep breath before continuing, "I'm really saying sorry to you. That's why I brought you here. I didn't know relationship talk was a bit off-limits with you and ended up hurting you."
Dylan leaned back in his chair as he gave a half-smile while she added, "Apologies mean nothing unless until you actually do something to make it up to the other person. I knew you like sweet things so, I decided to make it up to you in this way."
Dylan looked at the table full of sweet delicacies as he wondered out loud, "I wonder what Darren told you."
