What Was Different About You

Nayeli watched the blonde elf swallow hard as she continued revealing how wrong she was about the Draconian King. ''I remember on one snowy day, many years ago finding him once, barely conscious, bruises covering his ribs, his wrist twisted the wrong way… and he apologized to me as if he was the one in the wrong.''

Her breath hitched as she choked back a sob, just as the others were getting emotional. ''He was just a boy… and they made him believe he was worth nothing.''

'I messed up and need to make this right,' she thought as regret welled up inside her.

When the group of women heard this, they didn't know how to respond, but Ella continued until Nayeli was beside herself and jumped up. ''Please, can you let me apologize to him? I didn't realize he was a good man, and I was out of line to say all that I did.''
