Vera glanced at him. When she saw Sam's apologetic stare, she could tell that he was sincerely apologizing to her.

What he said made sense to her. The two opposed each other on this matter, so naturally, it would be difficult for one to listen to the other.

It was only then that she finally felt at ease to open her eyes.
