Part 22:
"I want you back in my life". Pause. He sighed deeply. "I made a mistake. And I understand if you can't forgive me"
Abby's answer was pressing her lips against his slightly. She pulled back and looked at him.
"I guess people make mistakes. But, if you really love who made a mistake, you'll forgive eventually, even it's hard"
"So?"
"What I'm trying to say is that… no matter how I try to fight, I can't stop loving you. I don't know why, I just can't", She got up, "I shouldn't feel this way. I didn't want to feel this way"
He got up.
"Why not?", He ran his hand through her arm.
"Because you'll leave me alone again. You'll make me be crazy in love with you and when I give up to your teases, you'll go away again and leave me"
He turned her to him.
"Look, this won't happen again. I'm not stupid enough to make the same mistake twice"
"I don't know"
"But I do. I do know that I love you more than anything. More than any woman I've ever loved. I can't stand staying away from you. I… you got me. And I can't let go of it. Listen, I wouldn't be begging you if I didn't really love you. I never stopped loving you Abby. I can't stop loving you"
He puts his arms around her waist.
"I can't stop loving you, Abby"
