Reveling? (His tone is flat and his expression is entirely unamused.) I tell you the truth. Words can hurt, they can bind, but they cannot make it so a family does not exist!
(Breathe. He turns slightly away and touches the spine of a book.)
I cannot help that my scars have been erased. I assure you, my mind is not so clean - nor is my apology half-hearted.
(Now he turns to her, moving to kneel before her, hands outstretched.)
Do not treat me like a ghost. I love you - and have loved you since the beginning. I hate myself for hurting you time and time again.
