Love mends even the broken parts
Sighing, Loren extracted a hand to run it anxiously through his hair. "Then I've already used it as an excuse." Voice ashamed, expression guilty, he closed his eyes. Biting his lip, he found himself tapping his foot with a nervous energy.
So he forced himself to take deep breaths. To stretch his legs out and place his palms on the ground behind him, leaning back slightly. As Maea began to speak, he opened his eyes and looked at her. Nodding slowly, he smiled sadly. "I don't know how hard I'm trying, to be honest." It came out quietly, and he found himself gazing out at the horizon to avoid her gaze.
