As Mr. Sloan walked away to go check what was wrong with the signal in the bridge, Eva stood behind Ariel, quietly looking at her.
"Jace, how do you like your food?" Eva asked gently from behind.
Jace sopped his water from his water bottle and turned to the side to look at Eva.
"It's delicious. Ms. Eva. The chef's really awesome!" Jarc replied excitedly.
Eva smiled and was about to touch the boy's head, but Ariel drew Jace's chair closer to her and made him out of reach for Eva, still not looking at her.
Eva sighed. "I'm sorry, Ariel; I will keep apologizing until you forgive me. I've done it for three years, and I don't mind doing it forever. I was wrong in the past, and now, I wish to start a new life, but I vat for that, knowing that the person I hurt, almost killed, hadn't forgiven me."
