They walked down the street.

"So how much further is it?"

"Not far." He said, "Just around the corner."

They walked around the corner and all Abby saw was a vacant block.

"I might be wrong but I don't see a diner."

"I never said we were going to a diner." He saw, walking over to a door.

"Well then where are we?"

He unlocked the door and pulled it open. Turning back to her, he said

"My place."

"Your place?"

"Yeah." He said, "So are you going to come in or are you just going to stand there all night."

"This is your place."

"Yes Abby. This is my place." He said, "So are you coming?"

Shaking her head, she said

"You are so…so…unbelievable."

Before he could say anything, Abby spun on her heel and stormed away. Ray let go of the door and took off after her.

"Abby! Abby wait!"

She didn't stop, no matter how many times he called her. Finally he managed to catch up to her. Grabbing her arm, he pulled her to a stop.

"Let go of my arm Ray." She said through clenched teeth.

He turned her around so that she was facing him.

"Not until you tell me what I did wrong."

"How can you stand there and ask me that."

"Obviously because I don't know."

"All right, let's start with why you lied to me."

"When."

"At the hospital." She said, "You acted like you cared when I told you about that little girl."

"I did care." He said, "I mean I do care."

"And when you asked to get a cup of coffee with you."

"I thought you could use a friend."

"And taking me back to your place." She said, "What purpose did that serve."

"I thought that it would be better than a noisy diner."

"So why didn't you tell me that we were going to your place."

"Would you have come with me?"

"I…I don't know." She said, "Now let go of my arm."

After a moment his grip relaxed on her arm. She pulled her arm away from him and started down the street. He wanted to go after her but instead remained in his spot, watching her disappear from sight. When he couldn't see her anymore, he turned and walked back to his apartment.
