Morrigan didn't know what reaction she had been expecting, but the silence was upsetting. She withdrew her hand, biting back more tears. "I'm sorry, Brother." It was likely the first time Brother had heard her say those words. She didn't take them lightly, and she had rarely felt it necessary to both admit she was wrong and to acknowledge someone else's feelings over her own. Now, though.. "I'm sorry. It was wrong."
"I'm not a good person." She'd tried to tell him before, but he couldn't see it. He was too sweet and optimistic. He looked at her through rose-colored glasses, and she hated that she was taking that away from him. "Please say something."
