"I did not come here for an apology. I came to check if you're alive and have dinner with you regardless of what the outcome would be."
Hiroshi smiled at her joke. "It's a relief you were able to get home safe and . . ." he began but stopped halfway.
"And I still have a bad sense of humour?" she asked him.
"Hmm that," his smile broadened slightly as he responded.
"I was scared that our friendship would end after what happened yesterday. I should never have asked you to be a stand-in. I told my mother and she called me a fool for doing something that stupid. I didn't think it was stupid when I planned it, but now I know it was dumb. I intended to clear things up with him."
"Oh, you don't have to, I . . ." Hiroshi began but stopped when he realized he almost said some things he should keep secret.
"Mhh . . ." she urged him to go on.
"No, I just don't think it is necessary but if you want to, then you can."
