I seated him on the sofa near the entrance, and I pulled a small round stool to sit in front of him. At that moment, our eyes met at the same level.

"I don't know why Roy doesn't take you out, and I don't want to know. But despite what happened today, it won't stop me from taking you out or having fun with you in the future." S
