“I can’t!” I breathed. “This is all my fault; how am I meant to go in there and face them when this… isall on me! If I had just rejected them like my father had said, maybe none of this would havehappened!”
“Maybe… but they would still be in pain, Char.. Do you truly think they would just accept yourrejection? Do you think they would just let you walk away? Because I don’t!” Sighing, I didn’t answerbecause I honestly didn’t know what to say.
“But..” Was all I could muster.
