Room 101: Anita/Isabel/Teri

[John Hino]

John knocked on the door and tried to look as non-threatening as he could. It wasn't easy.

[Teri Napliotis]

Something peeks out from under the door, scurrying away again right away.


A moment later Teri carefully opens the door.

[John Hino]

"Hey... I... wanted to apologize for the way I treated you the other day," he said, shifting his feet almost like a scolded child, "I was... I was in a very dark place that day."

[Teri Napliotis]

"That's okay..." she says a little hesitatingly. "We heard what happened. With the kidnapping and all. That must have been hard."

[John Hino]

"It... opened up some old wounds..." he said with a sigh, "Some I didn't even know I had."

[Teri Napliotis]

"Thank you for the apology. You didn't really hurt us. Just scare us."

[John Hino]

"I glad I didn't hurt you," he said, relieved.

[Teri Napliotis]

"We don't hurt easily." she smiles slightly.

[John Hino]

"I'm grateful for that. If I had hurt someone I don't know if I'd be able to forgive myself."

[Teri Napliotis]

"Then we're glad you snapped at us."

[John Hino]

"Yeah... it could have been worse. I'm still sorry though. I said some very mean things."

[Teri Napliotis]

"That's okay. You didn't meant hem, right?"

[John Hino]

"No. I didn't."

[Teri Napliotis]

"Then you're forgiven!" she says cheerfully.

[John Hino]

"Just maybe avoid hugging me for a while, hm? I'm still not quite my old self."

[Teri Napliotis]

"Too bad. But thank you for the warning then."

[John Hino]

"Somehow I doubt my girlfriend will accept the same warning."

[Teri Napliotis]

"We hope you don't bite her then..."

[John Hino]

"I never would," he said, clearly afraid of just that.

[Teri Napliotis]

"Don't be so scared of yourself, John."

[John Hino]

"I'm working on that."

[Teri Napliotis]

"Good." she smiles.

[John Hino]

"I guess I'll let you get back to whatever I interrupted. Thanks for forgiving me."
