Cosette slowly turned her head, lying beside him. She could see the regret while staring at his side profile, sighing.
"I'm sorry?" her voice was meek and sorry.
Maxen turned his head. "Why?"
"Because I don't stop you?"
"You know that is not something you should be sorry for, right?" he remarked, sporting a knowing look. "I am also at fault here. I should learn how to control myself even more."
Maxen looked back at the ceiling while Cosette stared at him for a moment before peeling her gaze from him. Both of them are at fault, and they knew that. Conrad already told them about the rules, but they just found loopholes. Now, they realized they were the ones suffering.
They should've listened. After all, when they crossed the line the first time, they could never go back. They just kept wanting more and more.
