  Clare: &quot;shall we have our breakfast now?&quot; I asked
  &quot;Sure, you might be hungry&quot; he replied sitting on the chair
  &quot;I am&quot; I went and sat next to him
  &quot;So from where shall we start?&quot; He said serving the food. 
  &quot;Anywhere&quot; I replied taking my plate.
  &quot;Let's start with the protein shake&quot; and he handed me a glass of the drink. 
  I gulped some and it was a way better protein shake than what I used to drink. 
  &quot;Which flavor is this?&quot; I asked
  &quot;Guess, you brought and tasted it,&quot; he said taking the first sip on his glass.
  &quot;Chocolate?&quot; I guessed
  &quot;Coffee&quot; he corrected
  &quot;I couldn't catch the difference. You don't even drink coffee often and still guessed it&quot; 
  &quot;I drink, but occasionally&quot;
  One by one we finished our breakfast and I arranged everything in a corner. I s

  Clare: I was about to leave when he called me,
  - When are you coming back?
  - when do you want me to?
  - I don't want you to leave.
  - you can't make me stay here and keep checking your laptop which makes you upset.
  - are you concerned about me?
  - I am concerned about the way you behave with me. I can't let you abuse me every time for the things I am not responsible for. I am no one to advise you on your personal life but I will definitely not like to bring them into my life.
  - fair enough. If you were the one to advise, what will you suggest me to?
  - I will simply suggest you not to check your laptop while you want me around.
  - done. I will stay away from the device that affects me while I am with you.
  - think before at least 10 times. You can have work, you may have an emergency which can force you to open the laptop and something can pop up which can make you upset.

  Clare: I just can't believe I put such an allegation on him without even trying to investigate the truth. I am so ashamed of myself that I didn't even try to hear from him. Me getting angry at the way he reacted was justified but the way I thought so many things about him is so shameful. How can I think so bad about him you never give me any chance to complain. I'm feeling so low. He is holding me tightly I couldn't hold myself and I cried a little on his shoulders. I don't need anyone to make me sick or to make me ill, I can break my heart myself. I'm such a dumbass. Anna might had some back problems cleaning the glasses and that might made her scratch her back, but I am such an asshole to make up a story from nowhere.
  &quot;I'm sorry&quot; I repeated again with a crying throat.
  &quot;It's okay, you thought from your side. I won't understand what you saw and how you felt&quot; he
