Aloe's gaze softened, her eyes reflecting a mixture of empathy and reassurance. "Jared, what do you mean by that?" She asked gently, her voice teeming with sincerity. "I'm totally confused, to be honest."
Hesitation clutched my heart as I stared at her. Guilt, mixed with a genuine reflection on my actions began to surface.
