Avalor, his heart heavy with regret, sought me out, trying to keep explaining some things to me. He held my hand and took me to a secluded clearing, far away from the company of guards and the council of elders that were with us.
My eyes filled with sorrow and I could tell that he had carefully read my emotions before he approached cautiously approached me, unsure of how I would react.
"Melissa," he began as I took my hand away from his, taking a few steps backwards also. His voice barely a whisper. "I know that I have hurt you so bad and that I have made mistakes that I can never take back or correct but want you to know that I am truly sorry."
I scoffed after hearing him say those words, they made me feel so sick, so sick that I could feel it in my stomach. I turned away from him as I did not want him to see my sad and wet face.
