"Leo, I'm sorry," I said, trying to sound convincing. "I didn't mean to hurt you. I just...I need some space, okay?"
“So you’re not going to help me out?” He asked as I sighed heavily.
“I can’t “ I replied.
Leo nodded, his eyes still filled with hurt. "Okay, Sophia. I'll give you space then. But please, don't shut me out completely. I need to know what's going on with you."
“It’s bigger than both of us.” I told him as he shook his head in disagreement.
“It doesn’t matter, I need to know”
“Leonard…”
“Tell me, I can handle it” he demanded.
“I am sorry, I can’t” I said as I packed my lunch and stood.
“Sophia~”
“Just let me go, I’ll be fine”I cut him off before leaving the restaurant opposite the company’s parking lot.
As I walked away from Leo, I felt a sense of relief wash over me
