Zard declining your offer spoke loud. You stared ahead to where he’s staring, “You alright there bud?”
He took a sip from the bottle, letting out a heavy frustrated exhale. “My ex-wife just told me that Zeyna can’t come over next month because she’s busy with school.”
“It do be like that Zard. High school can be pretty hectic.” You tilt your head, pointing a strip of steak to Zard.
“But she has been using this excuse so many times.” Zard shook his head with lips tensed. “Why can’t she trust me? I’ve changed!!” he spurts loudly with his free hand aggressively clawed.
You remained silent by eating, giving space to Zard to continue rambling but he falls back to his chair. Brushing his hand through his hair with a long puff to release the pressure.
Suddenly multiple pings can be heard, Zard reaches for his pocket to grab his phone. A sudden shift in expression, he smiles slightly. You see this same exact instance back at work. His daughter never ceases to instantly put his father into a good mood. Her messages are his dopamine.
After a while, Zard stands up and invites you back inside to continue the night with a movie. In the middle of the movie, you checked your phone and realized it’s one A.M. “I might leave after this one.” you turn to Zard. “Stay for the night! It’s Sunday anyways. You can sleep here on the sofa or in the guest room, your pick!” his tone sounds very inviting. You pause to think.

A.Stay for the night.
B. Go home.
