"Ah! Um! He…" The man stammered, pointing at Bry's father. He struggled to find the right words, suddenly realizing that the person he had just cursed and nearly attacked was someone Hera knew.
He felt utterly small, realizing that his outburst had been unreasonable and had left a negative impression on Hera. Now he understood why she had that strange expression when he mentioned the past. Ashamed of himself, he wished he could bury his head in the sand and disappear.
"Sir, I apologize for the accident. Please let me know what I can do to make things right," Bry's father began, lowering his head as he spoke. "I'm willing to cover the cost of the damage. I hope we can resolve this."
