past event
Talking about a past event:
After we got his stuff he said that he wanted to stop somewhere else. So I told him that I didn't want to go anywhere else.
And
After we got his stuff he said that he wants to stop somewhere else. So I said that I don't want to go anywhere else.
Are both okay to use here? Which one is better?
Thank you!
