Chapter One hundred eighty-five: His fear

"I won't do it again," He said shaking his head. Seriousness permeated his voice and his eyes as he stared at me.

"How can I make sure you're telling the truth? How do you know you won't look at them again when we still have a long journey to take ahead?"

He was silent for a moment, but his eyes never left me. And after a few seconds of silence, he then took a deep breath and started answering my question.

"Sam, I won't hurt you like that again and I won't do anything --- anything whether big or small to make you doubt me. I won't do anything that could break your trust. I know I'm not perfect and far from being one. I could definitely make some mistakes like not attending a dinner party, our friend's party, or whatever party it is. I can't be able to attend because maybe I'm stuck in an important meeting or I'm on an out-of-town project again.
