My heart started racing as he let go and let my hand fall back to my pad. I stared at him, why did he care?
I have not known him long enough to share my secrets. No way! I don't know him at all.
"I made a mistake when I was young and it's stupid, that's all." I said.
"Everyone is young and stupid from time to time, but they do not try to kill themselves," he snapped.
It was almost as if he was taking this personally. I sighed and remained calm.
"Sorry Mr. Mu, you don't know me or anything about me. And we are not friends remember, so what happened to me in my past is none of your business here."
There I said it. I put him in his place and politely told him to back off.
"I apologize," he said as he looked straight ahead.
Just then I started to feel a bit of regret for my a bit harsh tone. So I got up from the bench.
"I'm starving, would you like a bun or wrap?" I asked.
