Even though I knew he was right, and I was totally at fault, why did I feel so wronged crying like that? Hayden turned back and saw me in full meltdown mode. He sighed and pulled me into his arms. "It's my fault. I said something too harsh... I won't do that again The more he comforted me, the worse I felt.

I raised my hand and smacked his chest. "You're not wrong! Why are you blaming yourself? It's clearly my fault."

"No, you did nothing wrong. It's me... I let my stupid thoughts take over, and I wasn't satisfied, so I said something dumb," Hayden replied, taking all the blame like it was his job.

"Ow, that hurts," Hayden whispered.

It was the first time I'd ever heard him admit pain.

I let go, staring at him through tear-filled eyes. He gently wiped away my tears. "You've bitten me now, so no more crying, okay? If your eyes get all swollen tomorrow, you won't look pretty." "It's your fault," I pouted, blaming him again.

"Mm, it's my fault," he repeated, still gently brushing away the tears.

But the truth? He wasn't at fault at all.
