"So, Miss. What was all that about?"
"THAT? I thought we said THAT didn't happen"
Hina protested as we sat side by side leaning against the trunk of the tree, with the curious squirrel staring at us with its head tilted to one side.
"No, not THAT. I mean as in all that good-bye note and making me leave the company"
"I don't want to talk about it"
"With all due respect, I think I deserve to know why you were going to make me leave the company"
"Who said you can still come? THAT didn't mean all is forgiven"
"What have I done wrong that needs to be forgiven?!"
"For breaking a girl's heart…"
"Please, let's not be cryptic here. Also, even if I did that - whatever that means - that's no good reason to kick me out of the company"
"I just couldn't bear to see you again. Now I still can't. For a different reason. Maybe"
Hina pouted.
