Edward walked out of that coffee shop feeling much different than he thought he would, and he wasn't quite sure how to process it. He'd anticipated doing just as he had promised and listen to Kate, tell her how he felt, and finally have some closure to the past to be able to move forward.
What he hadn't predicted was even a degree of remorse from her. In all the years Edward had known Kate, he couldn't remember a single moment of seeing the side of her she'd displayed at that table. And the woman he spoke to that morning was almost unrecognizable to him, within a face that was as familiar to him as his own. She still made excuses, but took some responsibility for the mistakes she'd made and acknowledged at least a portion of her fault. It was progress that he hoped would continue, since only then would there be a chance to build their friendship again.
Truth be told, he did want that, despite the reservations he knew his family would have. They didn't trust her, and he understood why; even he didn't do so as he once did. But if she was truly sincere and put forth the effort she said she would, he believed it would come in time.
And only time would tell.
