I kept running for a bit until I was certain that there was no one following us.
Only then did I come to a stop while catching my breath.
When I finally caught my breath, I realized my mistake and quickly let go of the girl's hand.
As I did so, the girl couldn't help revealing a disappointed look under her cloak.
Taking a deep breath to calm myself down, I said, "I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I shouldn't have grabbed your hand like that."
The girl shook her head and said, "No, it was my fault in the first place for bumping into you. If it wasn't for me, then none of that would have happened."
I had to agree with this, but I held myself back from showing any signs of this. After all, I knew that I would hurt this girl's feelings if I did that and I had no reason to hurt the feelings of a girl that I randomly met.
Since I had already finished explaining, then there was no reason for me to say anything else.
