You didn't process the severity of your simple misdemeanor, but reality hit you like a bus when you started hearing sniffling from your right.
A sharp feeling of guilt ran across your expression as you heard he sniffling. you couldn’t believe you just made your boyfriend upset..
You felt bad for your actions, reaching out to comfort your boyfriend, but your shocked to feel your hand get slapped away almost immediately.
Instead of him trying again to cuddle up next to you, he stood up off the couch slowly, and started to walk away.
