I immediately collapsed to the ground and began to collect the shards of glass scattered around. I did this purely to hide behind the counter. Because Cesur was here, I was terribly excited.
He collapsed to the ground with me in Ateş. He took my hand, which was full of broken glass, and said, "I'll take care of it, Asli." I can tell he's just as nervous as I am. It didn't make sense for him to be this nervous for a glass. "I'm sorry, I'll handle it," I said again. This time he grabbed my other wrist. "Let go," he said through his teeth. It must have pissed him off that I'd suddenly become so clumsy and make a mess.
I shook my head slightly and dropped the glasses in my palm to the floor. I slowly got up. I fixed myself first. Then I straightened my hair. I did everything not to look around. What else was there to do? Should I have bent down again and tied my shoelaces? I looked at my shoes because it was a good idea, but when did I actually wear my zipper boots?
