Remus paced back and forth before sitting beside her. He clasped his hands together and stared down at them, then finally said, "I think this time, it's me who needs to do the talking. I know I've put you through a lot while I was away on the mission for Dumbledore. And while I had my reasons for what I said and did, I was wrong."
He paused and looked over at her. "I still think you deserve someone better than me. But I'm tired of lying to myself. I'm tired of doing what I think is best, instead of doing what I feel is right. And while I know this is the worst possible time to be having this conversation, I don't waste any more time."
