Somehow it was a relief that he hadn’t known back then, that he hadn’t heard her name and pitied her for what she’d blamed herself for at the time. Even now, that wasn’t what she saw in his copper gaze - only shock, and perhaps anger. That made sense. He’d been a Dragoon long enough to read between the lines. ”No,” she said. ”It was dark, and…” She shook her head. Too many attackers walked free, especially when the young women involved took so long to report them.
His hand was wrapped around hers, and when he stepped closer, she didn’t move away. His proximity was such that she had to look up to meet his gaze. Her lips parted in surprise at his wan chuckle, her fingers flexing in his. He’d actually acknowledged that there had been something between them without getting angry (which he had every right to do) or leaving.
”Listen, Koa - I was terrible to you. I don’t know if I ever really… acknowledged how selfish and cruel I was, but I just want to say: I’m sorry.” She swallowed hard, hoping that she wasn’t shattering the frail peace between them. ”Truly, deeply sorry. I can’t tell you how much I -“ She cut herself off. This wasn’t about her. This was about Koa, and delivering the apology she should have given him years ago. ”If you want me to go, I’ll go. If you don’t want to see me anymore, I’ll find somewhere else to be. But… the ball is in your court. What do you want, Koa? Because if you want me with you, in whatever capacity… I’m here.”
