POV: Zuri Sparrow
I laid, miserable, on my bed. Salty droplets that didn't have anything to do with the sea covered my cheeks. My head was filled with a beautiful, sharp green.
Those green eyes had been so filled with sorrow, glistening with tears. They'd begged forgiveness, pleaded for understanding.
I'd denied both.
Another wave of misery, accompanied by more tears, washed over me. I sat up as I shook. A vivid memory of a warm hug and a gentle kiss swept over me.
Those lips—soft and calming, gentle and caring, kind and careful. They'd been there when my brother was inches from death.
I wanted that feeling again.
That hug, strong and supporting. It had kept me from pain and hurt many times and many times over again.
I missed it dreadfully.
So what was wrong with me? Why hadn't I been able to accept the apology James had offered me? His words and been sweet and remorseful. They had made me believe we might have a chance. But still...something stopped me.
My pride.
