CHAPTER 185

~Valerie's POV~

"I acted like you were picking at a wound just to hurt me. But the truth is…" he inhaled. "You were trying to understand me. To connect."

Still, I said nothing. After all, I explained it all to him before, but he did not pay me any heed.

"I should've told you the truth from the start. About Sapphire. About how I lost myself that day. But instead, I lashed out at the only person who gave a damn."

He turned to face me fully. "Because I want to fix it."

"And what if I don't want it fixed?"

His throat worked. "Then I'll respect that. But I needed to say it to you in person."
