Redemption
With a heavy heart, she lowered her gaze and softly uttered, "I'm so sorry."
Sensing her distress, I gently guided her away from the shattered fragments, carefully pulling her away from the scene of chaos. Once we reached a safe distance, I released my grip on her and reassured her, "There's no need to apologize, it's just a broken piece of glass. The mess will be cleared up in no time. Go on, have your breakfast."
Just as I was about to retreat, she whispered those words once more, her voice laden with regret, "I'm sorry, Dante." This time, the dam she had been desperately holding back burst open, and tears cascaded down her cheeks, mirroring the pain she felt within.
