章 1571: An apology with hummingbirds (2)

Ron looked at Zula who is staring at the figurine of two hummingbirds and he repeated: "I hope that you will accept it."

Zula felt the emotions swelling inside her and she was not sure if she will be able to prevent another flood of tears.

She cleared her throat a few times before asking: "Ron, what are you doing?"

"I am telling you that I know I messed up and that I am sorry. You said how I don't know if another flashback will happen, and you are right about it. I can't control that. But I CAN control how I behave when it happens. Now that I am aware of it, I will make sure to stay present and not lose myself."

"What are you expecting me to do?"

"Give me another chance. Don't push me away. I don't expect us to continue from where we were, but I hope that we can start over. Slowly. Until you are confident enough to trust me again."
