Tom

It was doing my usual work. I haven't really thought about Tord much, I've been trying to accept the fact that he's going to marry Colin.

I can't remember how longs it been but I'm slowly getting there. 

I heard a series of footsteps behind me, at first I assumed they were just walking by so I didn't pay attention but I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I turned to see the one person I've been trying to forget for the past few weeks in all his glory.

I sighed heavily, welp looks like I'm at stage one again.

"What do you want Tord?" I asked a bit too harshly as I saw the wince on his face.

"I came here to apologise. I know you won't want to forgive me but I'm begging you to just accept my apology." I looked at him warily then behind him to see if Colin was going to come out and take Tord away. Sensing my hesitance he quickly added "and don't worry about Colin he's being dealt with"

"Sure." I replied still being cautious "you know Tord, I don't know if I can accept it so easily. You put me through hell, many nights questioning my worth. I tried, oh boy did I try and see your side of it but I was way too hurt to even come to terms with it." Oh great now the water works we're kicking in "i just don't know Tord. My heart is shattered."

I looked back at Tord who had a face full of regret. Good. So he should. I know I was being harsh but it's long overdue.

"I wanted so badly to see what you had done and just forget about it. To hate you enough to just not look back on what we went through. But you know what? I couldn't. So as much as it pains me to say it, I am willing to try."

His face retorted to one of relief as he took a step forward to hug me but I took one back. "Sorry." He mumbled.

"It's okay. We're just not at that stage yet."

"Will you give me your hand?" He asked to which I just looked up at him curiously as he held his hand out. I put my smaller one in his and he closed his eyes. As if savouring my touch.

"I'm so sorry Tom." He placed a kiss on the back of my hand "I love you so much."

I just nodded my head in reply because although I loved him too so very much, he didn't deserve to hear it from me. After everything he put me through, it's only fair.

Though I had a ghost of a smile on my face, I just stood there letting him hold my hand. Every now and again he'd kiss it or just simply bring it up to his face.

Maybe things will get better now.
