DANA
There's nothing I'd like more now but to be away from this place. To make Neil stop from saying anything more. Not a word. Especially not something that may trigger the tears more.
My thoughts were left on that place, with the conscious knowledge that I have to go back in there and get my bag from the seat across Ivor. Because of that, I should stop this. I can't keep crying. He'll see. My eyes are red right now, I can see from the reflection on the mall's glass walls.
"I was right. I was right all along."
Neil said and ran his hands through his hair. He sniffed and for a moment I thought he was crying. He wasn't. thank God. why would he cry, anyway? how did that thought cross my head?
"I'm sorry."
I don't know what I'm sorry about. or why. It just felt right to say at the moment.
"don't be. you're only being honest. You owe that to yourself."
