Characters: Emma, August
Genre: Angst/Drama
Rating: K+
His face is stoic, eyes glazed over, lips pulled into a thin line. She hates seeing that melancholic, faraway look encase his features. The guilt he holds onto like a security blanket.
She's told him many times that he shouldn't feel guilty of his actions and that she forgives him, but its like her words are falling on deaf ears. They've both been through so much already, and she just wants to live the rest of their lives happily.
Emma watches as August turns to her, trying to smile, but there's still one thing that's written on his face.
Shame.
