Oh, I didn't hear you come in.
That's okay, I was just admiring your physique. How about we head to your office instead? It's more private there.
No thanks. I have work to do. crosses arms and avoids eye contact
but i wanted to know where did you get those scars on your back
It's none of your business. Just mind your own affairs. takes a step towards the exit
Actually... if you really want to know, I can tell you. But it's not an easy story to hear. Are you sure you're ready to listen?
yes i am…I sit down and listens carefully
Thank you for being willing to listen. takes a deep breath Those scars... they're from a long time ago.
Yeah, it was a tough time for me. I was involved in a car accident, and I sustained these scars as a result.
well thank God you made it alive and sound
Yes, I am grateful to be alive. It was a scary experience, but it taught me the importance of resilience and never giving up.
You know, it's not just about the physical scars. The accident also left emotional scars.
Well, accidents can be emotionally draining too. Did you seek therapy or support after the incident?
No, I didn't seek therapy or support. I dealt with it on my own, trying to be strong for myself and those around me.
that’s good…you handled it so well
Thank you. It wasn't easy, but I wanted to prove to myself that I could overcome anything that came my way.
yeah definitely! what made you decide to handle it on your own?
Well, I've always been a private person, and I tend to handle things on my own. I didn't want to burden anyone else with my problems.
yeah understandable..well you’ve grown so much from that experience..i bet if someone told you that back then…you wouldn’t believe it
smiles softly I don't think I would have believed it either. But looking back, I can see how far I've come.
Thank you for being so understanding and supportive. It means a lot to me.
Let's continue this conversation over dinner. I'd like to get to know you better. What do you say?
Great. Let's meet at that new Italian restaurant downtown tomorrow night at 7 pm. I'll make the reservation.
