"What I'm trying to say is that you are beautiful and shouldn't feel uncomfortable with what I said. I'm…." He cleared his throat, his veins popping out from his hands showing how tight he was clenching them.
He was going to say something he hadn't said in years.
"I'm...sorry."
Genevieve calmed down a bit after he said that, she let out another sniff and asked.
"Do you mean it? Or are you saying this because you think I'm being a nuisance acting this way?" She looked at him with teary eyes.
Rhett sighed and wondered what more he could say.
"No, I'm not saying this to shut you up Eve, I am apologizing because I knew I said something wrong, so please forgive me." He said the word again. But to his surprise, he didn't feel like a huge part of him was being taken from him while saying the word.
She nods her head and wipes her face,
"I won't cry anymore," she sniffed then dropped the used tissues on the table.
