Chapter 59: Abby, You're In Big Trouble!

As Sawyer was about to invite her into the cabin because the temperature was dropping, Abigail called his name.

"Sawyer—"

"Yes...?"

"I can't open my heart so fast to a man. The wound that man carved into my heart is still fresh. I don't know when I'll be able to recover and trust a man again." Abigail lowered her gaze, unable to meet his eyes. 

"I'm sorry, Sawyer. I hope you are willing to understand me..." she continued, her voice barely audible.

Still, Sawyer heard her clearly. "It's fine, Abby. I understand. I know that man hurt you deeply."

"Thank you for being honest about your feelings and then understanding me even when I don't respond the way you hoped, Sawyer," Abigail slowly lifted her head to meet his gaze. This time, a weak smile appeared on her lips. "Please, give me more time to heal from this pain. I will try to move on from that jerk as quickly as possible!"
