"I will save your eyes forever- the bright look and beauty- I want to save them all," he said.
"I know," I muttered with a smile as I gently touched his hair. "I know you will."
"Oh, there is something I have to tell you about," he said.
"What is it?"
"First of all, I'm sorry. I really am."
"You're sorry?" I mumbled. It always felt weird whenever he apologized. I knew it was not supposed to be anything strange or something like that. But I always felt like he was the type of person who never apologized. Perhaps it was because of his usual smug face, though he did not have that kind of face when he was with me.
"Well, I have to leave tonight to inspect the borders. It was planned. I was just too relaxed around you that I forgot to tell you. I'm really sorry."
"But you have to leave tonight?"
"Yes. I wish I could delay a bit, but it's inevitable."
