I told Eliana the whole story. She was quiet for a while. I want to know what she is thinking. I made sure to be honest with her.

I know I am not all that innocent because I was foolish enough to just leave her when my mother convinced me to.

"I can't believe this." Eliana said. She stood up, took a few steps away from me and stopped.

She turned and looked at me. Her brown hazel eyes looked less angry than it used to be each time I saw her.

"I know I am not all innocent either." I stood up from where I was and walked towards her. "I shouldn't have listened to her." I held her hand again.

I am glad she did not pull away. But she looked lost in her thoughts.

"I was young, ambitious and naive." I said. "There is no excuse for my actions. I should have some decency and a level of respect for our relationship and spoke to you before I left. I am so sorry." I honestly spoke.

I really hope to see my daughter. But it seems she is not here. We have been here for more than 30 min
