We didn't stay at the cabin. We hit the road back home as soon as I told him I was willing to work things out. It was still a little awkward and the drive home wasn't exactly comfortable.

The tension between us was wild and not exactly in a good way. But I said I was willing to give it another go and I was going to try. The only thing I was hesitant about was not being able to go back to the way we were. "Leah?".

"Yeah?".

"You do know how sorry I am don't you?". He placed his hand on my knee squeezing gently.

"I know". I didn't want to keep talking about it. The more he brought it up the more I struggled to move past it. I knew he was sorry but he still had to gain back my trust. "She meant nothing to me, you're the only-....".

"Can we please not". I sighed. "I've told you I'm willing to try again but please stop talking about it".

His hand fell from my knee as he gripped the steering wheel and drove the rest of the way home.

"I feel like I've lost you".
