Disappointed and Mad
"I can drop you—" Ben insisted. The thought of making her walk home alone made him feel very uncomfortable when he was the one who had called her over. It didn't feel appropriate and right.
"No it's fine, you must have other things to do," she remarked. "I'll just go—" At this point, Tina couldn't hide her disappointment anymore. She just turned around and left, without greeting him goodbye.
When she started walking away, Ben quickly approached her and grabbed her hand. "Wait—"
Contemplating for a while, he asked, "Are you mad at me?"
"No—" She looked away.
"Then why are you insisting on going alone?" Ben couldn't understand what was going on and what she wanted. For the first time in his life, he felt very dumb and useless. It was like his brain had stopped working. He couldn't think of anything.
"Isn't this what you wanted?" She looked at him. "You wanted me to go home, right? So I am doing it, I am going home."
