"Hi Scarlett, I came here because I miss you and wanted to talk to you."His eyes appeared so sad and bleak that it broke her heart, he swallowed and then continued. "I don't know what I did wrong, or how I offended you but I'm deeply sorry, please Scar forgive me."

"Please Sca—," She cut him off before he could finish. "Skye stop, why are you apologizing? It's not your fault at all." Her voice was filled with so much emotion. "But—""But nothing, I just had a lot of things going on lately, I'm so sorry." Scar

"What? that's not how it is, let me explain, this is just some misunderstanding." Scar said as she wanted to reach out to him but feared that he'd push her away.
