so i put the rice krispie treats on a beautiful plate, opened my apartment doorand there she was, standing in the hallway. but when she saw me, she went back inside. i went after her and quickly said, “im sorry, ive got something for you! i just wanted to tell you how grateful i am that you were paying attention on monday.” when she heard me speaking, she turned around. as i held the plate towards her, her eyebrows winged up and she took the plate. i was so happy and excited.back in my place, i did a “happy dance”, because i had dared to be kind even though i hadnt been sure my kindness would be welcome. i do hope that our relationship will slowly get better. i know i was and still am biased (存有偏见) towards her at times, but even if we dont make amends, i want
