As she stepped out of the restaurant, the cool breeze on her face. brought some clarity.
But just then, through tear–blurred eyes, she thought she saw Justin running toward her.
He was dressed in a suit, looking different from his usual self.
Normally, he preferred sportswear or casual clothes, and hist hair was always short and a little messy.
But today, she could tell he’d put some effort into it–it was styled neatly, and he even wore a bow tie.
Justin hurried over, and when he spotted Amy standing by the restaurant door, he waved his hand.
“Amy!”
She blinked, making sure it was really him, and the moment it sank in, she clenched her jaw.
Before he could even say anything, Amy turned to leave, but Justin quickly stepped in front of her, blocking her path.

“Listen to what? Justin, if you wanted to reject me, you could’ve just said it outright. You didn’t have to humiliate me like this! I like you, but that doesn’t mean you get to mess with me however you want!”
in’s face went pale, and for the first time, he looked genuinely nervous.
“Amy, I’m sorry. That’s not what I meant at all! I know you’re angry, but please, just give me a chance to explain.”
Amy was breathing heavily, her anger rising as her eyes scanned him up and down.
Sure, he was wearing a suit, but it was dirty and wrinkled, like he’d just crawled out of a sewer.
His hair might have been styled, but dust clung to it, even sticking to his nose.
That’s when she noticed he was holding a bouquet of roses–red, wrapped in black paper.
But the roses were crushed, barely holding together, and he was gripping them so tightly, it was like he couldn’t let go of whatever was bothering him. It seemed like there was more to the story than she’d realized.
Struggling to control her anger, Amy wiped away the tears that had already fallen.
“Go ahead. I’m all ears. Let’s hear what kind of excuse you’ve

Without a word, Amy snatched it, wiped her nose, and tossed it on the ground.
That was when Justin finally seemed to calm down.
“I was planning to leave early this morning,” he started, his voice a little shaky. “But on my way here, I got caught up in a
situation–a woman’s pi
ot snatched. You know me, I’m at cop. I couldn’t just stanc re and do nothing, so I had to… deal with it.”
That’s when Amy noticed his shoes–his dress shoes were scuffed and stretched out, like he’d been running.
Justin spoke again, his words coming out in a nervous jumble. “I didn’t mean to say that other people are more important than you, but that woman… she’s disabled, and I…”
It was clear he was so nervous. He was struggling to get his words out. Even the bouquet of flowers in his hand was tightly gripped, like he was holding on for dear life.
Amy stared at him, and for a split second, she felt like slapping herself.
She had just decided, a moment ago, that no matter what he said, she wouldn’t hesitate any longer.
But damn it, seeing him like this… it was impossible not to feel a twinge of emotion.

of justice.
How could she possibly stay mad at him for helping someone in need?
As she thought it over, the anger inside her began to fade.
That’s when her stomach rumbled–loudly–breaking the
tension.
Justin immediately snapped to attention.
“You’re hungry, right? Let me take you somewhere else to eat, okay?”
Amy nodded. Justin started to turn, about to lead the way.
But Amy didn’t move.
“Wait!”
Justin turned back, looking at her.
“You need to explain yourself first. What exactly do you want from me today? Once you answer that, then I’ll decide if I’m going to have dinner with you.”
The truth was, when Amy had seen the bouquet of flowers in Justin’s hand, she already knew what his answer would be.
But some things, she realized, needed to come from his lips.
