He nodded. “So why would you be bothered about that when you were simply defending yourself? Black and white are not the only colors in this world, you know? It is impossible to classify someone as good or bad based on their actions alone.”

He paused for a moment before reaching out and pulling me back toward the sofa. “I mean… Dinner just isn’t complete without the whole family at the table, right?”

What kind of logic is that?

“How about you do the same to me, and we’ll call it even?” he asked with a smile.

I rolled my eyes at him. “No, thank you!”
