She looked at Leo, who was seriously waiting for her answer and even looked nervous. Finally, she took a deep breath and said something she knew he was expecting to hear. "I don't know what would have happened if our circumstances were not as they are because they are already this way. That would never change."
"You are trying to evade the answer." He laughed. "Are you becoming a coward now, huh?"
She knew what he was going to say next, so she didn't wait for it. "If the situation was different…" She started, deliberately emphasizing on the first word. "We would not have met."
