“I… I apologize, Mr. Sy.” – Nora muttered, turning her back from us.

She stood up and tossed the jacket back on the couch.
“No, I apologized, Nora. That wasn’t… well, that’s not how it looked.” – I tried to reason.
“Yes, you can turn around now Nora. There’s no need for that.” – Tina said behind me
