He raises his head when I step out and our eyes meet, the pain in his eyes is enough to make the rest of my anger fade away like it's nothing and I blink rapidly to dispel the tears gathering in my eyes.
I know I'm the one that's going to have to make the move this time, Virgil was likely to not forgive himself for a long time, I had to stop that while it was still early enough.
I walk closer to him and stand in front of him, he breaks eye contact with me and looks down, remorse evident in his sparkling blue eyes.
I don't hesitate before I go down to his height, settling on my knees in front of him. He parts his legs for me to get in close but he's still not looking at me.
"Virgil?" I call softly, searching for his eyes.
Before I can blink he pulls me in close, wrapping his arms around me and I fall forward over him, his head laying on my chest.
"I'm so sorry…"
