George River coolly withdraws his hand, keeping his demeanor as calm as possible, yet his tone reflects exhaustion, "Something came up at the office, I need to rush back immediately."
Tiffany Lynch deftly tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear, smiles gently, "Then you should get going, I'm fine."
She is very understanding.
George reaches his hand to straighten the corner of the blanket, "I'll be off first then."
Just as he gets to the door, Tiffany suddenly speaks up, "George, about today's matter... I wanted to say, I don't blame Hannah, one cannot force matters of the heart, but this is ultimately because of me."
Her biggest worry is that George might harbor special feelings for Hannah out of guilt.
No matter what it is, even if it's a moment of sympathy, she can't accept it.
Seeing someone who resembles you appear suddenly beside your first love, after many years of parting, anyone would find it unbearable.
