Talk with Mark

Soon after everyone completed their lunch, they went back to the living room to continue the game except Mark who was sitting on the table while staring at David who was washing dishes. David asked his daughter to play while he would do dishes as he wanted to talk with Mark alone after he saw Mark not leaving the room. 

David washed the utensils before sitting in front of Mark with his head down. The aura Mark was giving out didn't allow him to speak. He just looked down like a kid about to ask something inappropriate. Mark continued to look at him, trying to figure out what is wrong with the dude. He sensed something was wrong immediately when he saw the forced smile on David's face when he walked in. 

"Tell me? What are you hiding and what happened earlier today?" he finally asked. The gentle-looking man simply had another feel to him after coming back. Seeing him made him remember a certain past.
