The girl stood up and moved to a different seat. She was furious, and sad, and confused. She was overwhelmed with emotion.

Why did he do that to her? Is what she thought, and then she made up her mind.

He did it because he wanted her to see him as him, but she was going to see that no matter what. She wasn't greedy, she was vulnerable to him. She just wanted a friend. She understood where he was coming from, but how cliche of him.

The next thought she had was, is he really sorry.

That answer was easy for her. Yes. He's was obviously overcome by guilt about it.

Did he mean to hurt her?

No. He didn't mean to, it just happened, he didn't think about it.

What made him confess?

The letter. The PS struck him that she trusted him, and he felt guilty enough to open up. That shows a lot of his character.

And finally the biggest kicker of her questions.

Could she forgive him?

She wanted to, she really did. But was there anyway for her to fully trust him again? Of course there was, or at least she thought there was. He did care about her, it was clear to see. And she cared about him. She understood why he did it, and if he was willing enough to open up, he would be willing again.

The girl sat in that new seat for an entire stop. She processed everything. And the more she processed the more relaxed she became.

The more she sat there, the more he worried. He gave her space, she would need time to think.

That was until he walked over to her.
