I paused.
Could I actually do this? What if I said the wrong thing?
What if she didn’t forgive me?
I took a deep breath, and knocked.
“Mm?” I head quietly from behind the door.

She nodded.
I let myself in the room, closing the door behind her. I walked over to her bed and stood beside it. I was in my shorts, the moment felt too important to be nude.
“I’m sorry,” I began. It was the only way I knew how to start. And I was, sorry.
