Did he want to make up for it?

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.

Vera was at a loss for what to say.

Minerva had been unconscious for a long time. As she was opening her eyes, the glaring light made it difficult for her to keep them open.

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