Saving her life, from that reason alone, I could forget what you did to me and... I could forgive you. Yeah… I already forgave you, James."
Those last words coming from Erick really surprised James. He didn't expect that he would easily forgive him just because he saved Elle. Now, he understood more why he would never replace Erick in Elle's heart.
Erick was a good person. He didn't bear grudges and take revenge. He was always looking at the positive sides of things. He was also forgiving. If he was in his shoes then he would not easily forgive that someone.
"Thank you, Erick. I hope regardless of what happened, we can still be friends." James said to him, feeling sincere.
He wanted to get closer to Erick although he's the reason Elle couldn't love him back. He already accepted it. And now, he was trying his best to move on. But he still liked to stay closer with both of them.
