Our eyes were locked for several minutes. The tension thickened around us as someone came up to clean the table. I quickly looked away, feeling another wave of guilt, even though I didn’t know the story behind his scars. I didn’t know how he truly felt about them—he looked unbothered. But the ice-cold gaze he gave whenever he saw a cigarette made me wonder if he was more human than most people I had met.
I was the first to look away.
