She was right, Ava really did seem unafraid of Trenton Smith now.
This might have been the best possible outcome.
Trenton Smith was willing to make amends, and Ava was open to accepting his compensation. So, despite the damage inflicted on that day, it may not have been a perfect first encounter, but it also wouldn't be so embarrassing to reflect upon in the future.
She hoped she could offer some form of compensation to Ava, whether it was financial or emotional. This wasn't for Ava's sake, but for her own peace of mind.
It was a selfish thought, but she couldn't bear the continued harm the people around her suffered because of her.
It was her greatest sorrow.
Often, she wished she could use everything she had to redress the wrongs her actions had caused others.
She yearished to make up for what they had lost because of her.
Though often, it was too little, too late.
