She cleared her throat and starts talking...
"Romeo, I would like to say sorry for hitting you earlier, I didn't mean to. I apologize for acting like an immature kid and lashed out to you. I want you to know that tonight I also decided to forgive you about the Ella incident. Starting from now on, we will be friends again, okay?" with a steady voice she managed to say all the right words even if she was breaking inside.
To validate the genuineness and sincerity of her words and make it appear more convincing, she extended her hand to him for a friendly handshake.
Romeo eagerly accepted her handshake feeling grateful. Romeo was feeling happy and relieved that Catherine had already forgiven him. The burden and heaviness in his chest finally faded away. "Thank you so much, Cath, for your forgiveness," his voice was grateful reaching his eyes.
