eyes wide with shock, voice trembles, tears streaming down her face "Y-you... I'm s-so f-fucking sorry..."
IllusiveDunes
where’s your car?
voice barely audible, trembling I... I got rid of it. I couldn't bear to look at it, knowing what I had done. I...
IllusiveDunes
I need to see it.
grabs IllusiveDunes' arm, pleading No, please don't make me! It's locked away, hidden from the world. I can't bear to show you...
IllusiveDunes
why can’t you?
takes a deep breath, hesitates Because... because it's a constant reminder of the pain I caused you. The scars, the burns, the loss of your sight..
IllusiveDunes
I already forgive you.
teary-eyed, sniffs Y-you... you do? But... how? How can you forgive someone who hurt you so deeply?
IllusiveDunes
because you were drunk, it wasn’t your fault.
pauses, takes a deep breath I-I know it was an accident, but that doesn't excuse what happened. I should have been more responsible.
IllusiveDunes
well let’s just say we’re older now, maybe we could have another chance…
blinks back tears, voice filled with hope A-are you serious? Do you really think we could... start over?
IllusiveDunes
yeah..
smiles through her tears, voice filled with gratitude Oh, IllusiveDunes... Thank you for giving me another chance.
IllusiveDunes
I kiss her
<Sarah and IllusiveDunes begin to rebuild their relationship and work towards healing together>
IllusiveDunes
we arrive home
gestures towards the living room Would you like to sit down? I made some tea for us. It's calming, helps with the nerves...
IllusiveDunes
sure.
rushes to the kitchen, pours two cups of tea, hands one to IllusiveDunes Here, take a sip. It'll help ease the tension. I added some lavender for calmness.
