章節 155: The Holy City II

I take in the cool breeze as we walk through the forest—the relaxing sounds of the bugs and branches clear my mind. What I said to Sally might mess with her feelings for me. She might end up liking me more. I want to avoid situations like that, but Sally needed some encouraging words after the incredibly personal thing she shared with me. I'm going to end up with a complicated situation eventually. It's a byproduct of what is happening, and I can only cross that bridge when I get there.

I'm not an expert on women and what they go through, but I like to think I have a clue. Many years of dealing with highly emotional people have taught me many things. I've developed some tact when it comes to complex situations to handle. I look over to Sally, and she is still looking at the ground and avoiding eye contact. I hope what I said didn't make her upset. She isn't acting like her usual cheery self.
