Apology Accepted

Miranda's pov

He hasn't come back in six days. I've called for him day in and day out but I've always come up empty handed. "if I tell him the truth, will ya come back?" I beg. "sure." I hear him say. I almost jump out of my skin. "you love scaring me don't you?" I gripe. He laughs. "yes, yes I do." He says. "I'll tell him. Just don't leave me like that again." I cry. "but you said for me to go away and never come back." He says. "I didn't mean it! I regretted it as soon as the words came out of my mouth." I cry. He smiles that reassuring smile I've missed. "oh thank goodness." I whimper, hugging him tightly. "now, you go tell him the truth. And I'll be watching so don't try to fake the truth." He says. I nod and walk to the house. Glenn is fixing breakfast, Maggie left back up north. I can't believe I'm about to do this. But if it keeps Jason here, I'll have to do it. "hey, Glenn. I have to tell you something." I say, wringing my hands together. He looks up. "oh no. That's your I've got bad news look." He says. "I lied." I say. He raises a brow. "you lied? lied about what?" He asks. I sigh and spot Jason standing in the corner of the room, his hands in his pockets. "tell him." He whispers. I take a deep breath. "I lied about Maggie! She was never holding hands with a guy!" I say all in one breath. "so wait, you broke my marriage up with her because why?" He asks,making me feel horrible. "because we were doing so good and I didn't want to wreck that. I hope you can forgive me." I say. He stands up and goes to the kitchen in silence. "what do I do now?" I ask. Jason shrugs and shakes his head. "go talk to him." He says. "I was never good at the talking. That was always you, remember!" I gripe. "He can see you when you allow it. Why don't you talk to him!?" I ask. He just disappears. "I know this is gonna suck." I mutter, walking in after him. "can we talk?" I ask. He looks up. "sure, what do you want to talk about?" He asks, calmly. "are you mad at me?" I ask. He smiles. "no, I have no reason to be mad. You may not have really seen that but I saw the love notes between her and some guy named Malick." He says, chopping vegetables. "so she really was?" I gasp, surprised. He nods and walks over to me after setting the knife down. He kisses me and wraps an arm around my back as he deepens the kiss. Keely walks in the kitchen and gasps in surprise. He looks up at her. "hey keely, I was just making your favorite." He says, walking over to the stove. The ten year old stares suspiciously at Glenn. "why were you kissing my mom?" she asks. "because I wanted to." He says. She shrugs and sits down. "so after this, can we go do baseball. Dad used to play with me but... Well you know." she says. I leave the room as to not cry in front of my young daughter. "well looks like Glenn forgave you." Jason says, yet again surprising me. "dammit Jason, stop sneaking up on me!" I gripe. He laughs. "what do you want me to do?" He asks. I roll my eyes. "I don't know. You think of it." I say, smiling. He stands by the door. "I'll be seein' ya honey." He says. "same time tomorrow?" I ask, hugging him goodbye. "actually baby, I can't." He says, holding my hands. "you can't? Why not?" I ask. "I-I just can't." He says, kissing my forehead. "I'll be back soon though. You know I'm not gonna leave you." He says. I nod. A tear slips down my cheek. "I know. But I'll miss you." I whimper. He hugs me and waves goodbye then is gone. When will he be back? I hope soon.
