My mind was playing tricks with me. It had been a long confusing tiring day. I was panicking a bit. I wasn’t sure why I wasn’t running away, but I wasn’t ready and willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, I guess I didn’t know what I really wanted at that moment.

‘Why should I watch him?’

I wasn’t sure why my conscience was telling me it was ironic what I was doing, but I kind of did understand where the source of the whole reassurance needed came from.
