How About A Little Kiss?

Sergei bowed slightly and motioned for Everly to follow him to the car, and she did so without a word. On their way to the car, Sergei couldn't help but wonder if Everly was angry. Was she going to tell Ivan about their encounter with Damien?. They arrived at where the car was parked, and Sergei reached out to open the back door for her. 

 

Just as she was about to enter the car, Sergei cleared his throat. "Miss Everly?" He looked down at the floor, slightly nervous to say anything to her, but he knew he had to. 

 

"Yes?" Everly looked up at him, waiting for him to speak. "Is something wrong?"

 

He let out a sigh, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed his head slightly. "Please forgive me for arriving late, it was never my intention. If I had made it earlier, none of this would've happened." He raised his head and looked at Everly, feeling slightly relieved after saying that and hoping that she would accept her apology.
