'Talk about what? About the distant past where I hated you or the past from a few minutes ago where I wanted to kick you out of my life?' He avoided her eyes and looked around the terrace garden.
He noticed that there was a bench just a few feet away from them, so he held onto Lina's hand and led her it's direction.
