Apology
She comes to him to apologize. It's dark in his room, the only source of light being the moonlight bleeding through the window. She struggles to find the correct words to say.
Karin isn't good at apologies. She fumbles for words and her cheeks suddenly feel very warm, she could feel herself blush. "Um, about the other night, I… uh… I didn't mean to..."
"It's okay." It's all he's said to her lately.
"Can I try again?"
He doesn't answer - she reaches for him anyway, and this time she's ready. This time her hands are gentle and this time he doesn't see fear. She touches him like a spirit, like she is in awe of what she sees.
This time… this time, she leans in.
He stays still.
It didn't take long for her to find his mouth.
