"You can never make up for what you put me through."

"Please." His voice cracked. "I can’t lose you, too."
I stared at him, unmoved.
"There’s a thing called regret, Vincent. And I hope you feel it every damn day."
His expression twisted.
"Regret that you never saw who truly stood by you. Regret that you let your own mother die without granting her final wish. Regret every choice you made. Because I promise you this—" I exhaled sharply. "I will never look back."
