She could sense that he was stubborn and didn't want to accept her apology. While Stef realized that he probably was quite tipsy, she couldn't accept his gloomy attitude. As he repeated to her that he didn't care and that he wanted her to leave him alone, she felt her stubbornness grow inside of her. If it had been anyone else, she would probably tell him that she was sorry and leave him alone. But she felt this man wasn't someone else. The way he said "he didn't care" wasn't just of someone who's grumpy that their clothes were ruined. Instead, she could tell he was defeated, that something was bothering him and she couldn't accept it.<br/><br/>Or rather, she felt the need to help him. When he tried to push her aside, she didn't budge. Instead, she kept herself steady and she stared intensely into his eyes. "Something is wrong with you, I can tell." She said bluntly and with a gentle hand, she reached up to his cheek and carefully, she stroked him with her slender fingers.<br/><br/>Stef didn't know why she did it and she suddenly felt how this encounter turned intense. But she couldn't help to feel sorry for this stranger. But she suddenly realized what she was doing was inappropriate and she quickly removed her hand from his face. "I'm truly sorry if I have offended you." She told him and glanced down at her feet for a few seconds, almost as if she was trying to hide that she was embarrassed by her herself. "But I feel something is wrong. Not because that I soaked your clothes with beer, but because you aren't feeling well."<br/><br/>She didn't know how he would react, or if he would decide to just leave her. But she was determined and she decided that she rather would spend her evening helping someone in need, than partying with her friends. "I think we should do this properly." She told him and then, she reached her hand out to him for him to grab and shake. "My name is Stephanie, but everyone tends to call me Stef. What's your name?" She told him with a bright smile and she looked up at him again and tried to keep eye contact with him.
