THELYSSES
I don't expect you to. I would like to hope that perhaps someday I might find a way to earn your trust, but I don't expect that to be anytime soon. I don't want you to feel as though I'm trying to force the issue, either.
[...] I apologize, Verin. I should have asked you what it is you want from me at this juncture, if anything. If you want space, I will give you space. I am the one that is in the wrong and I should respect your wishes in this.
