I shouted.
Years of bottled-up pain erupted, and tears spilled from my eyes.
Jared frantically tried to wipe them away, apologies falling from his lips.
“I’m sorry. This is all my fault. I’m so sorry. Please, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
With a thud, he knelt before me and slapped himself with my hand.
“Hit me, Vanessa. Please, anything to make you feel better.
“Just… forgive me, please…”
In response to my lack of reaction, he pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly.
