He told me his watch was dead, I said I'd take it to get the battery changed. It's an Eco-drive, so he just hasn't been moving enough to keep the watch running. As I was leaving, I brushed the jacket on his arm, and he winced in pain, but said it wasn't my touch. He was able to offer me knuckles as I went to walk away.
Confession: I don't want to take it back to him today, don't want to see him that vulnerable  |
Sorry to hear that man. Stuff like that breaks my heart. I'm currently going through something similar with my dad and it hurts. I try to be a tough guy in those situations...but it's hard.
