“That’s not…” I murmured to myself as an empty void seemed to have opened up in the middle of my chest.
It was when the door of the room closed behind him and I was left completely alone that I understood that those were not the words that I wanted to say to him. Everything that I said to him were probably all the wrong things. The look of slight disappointment that crossed his face whenever I apologized told me well enough that he didn’t like what he had heard from my lips. No matter how many times I apologized to him whether it was in pure sincerity or in pure anger, it would never be enough.
“Thank you…for saving me…” I whispered so softly that I could barely hear myself.
