“I don’t have a story to tell,” | mumbled.

“Fine. You don’t have to tellnow. I'm willing to wait. But let me, at least, take you out to an early dinner so we can get to know each other better,” he said.

“Sebastian, | don’t want you to think I'm ungrateful in any way, but why do you care anyway? | am not your charity case.

“What you're wearing is fine. Look at me. I'm just in a regular t-shirt and jeans,” Sebastian pointed out.

“B-but she’s your mother. She wouldn't care if you were in rags, | argued helplessly. If the car wasn’t moving, | probably would have jumped out.
