"This is my fault," said Charlotte Thompson in a whisper, a worry crease forming between her brows.
There were some things she had always chosen to run away from.
For reasons unknown, Charlotte felt as though she hadn't quite moved on from her past.
The word 'marriage' felt a little too heavy for her.
Or maybe it was because the man in front of her was still the same Justin Battleson from back then, but her identity and status are now entirely different from what they once were.
It seemed like there was always an inexplicable barrier in front of her.
Even though she could shatter it with just a reach of her hand, Charlotte Thompson was very hesitant.
Justin held onto Charlotte, his other hand gently brushed away her frown.
"Don't say that, Charlotte," he said.
She bit her lower lip lightly, her voice faltering a little, "Can you give me a bit more time?"
"Charlotte."
