It's Not Too Late
I obediently sat down without touching the dishes in front of me.
"Grandma was talking to you, didn't you hear?" Mark spoke in an irritated tone.
I wasn't sure if he was annoyed because I didn't hear his grandmother or because his grandmother scolded him.
"Sorry, Ms. Anderson Sr., I was too hungry and didn't pay attention." I cast an apologetic glance towards her.
My teacher used to say that apologies should be sincere.
Actually, my haste wasn't due to extreme hunger but rather the fear of not finishing my meal promptly and facing criticism for leaving leftovers.
