How Much Marcel Meant To Her

Her heart was thumping frantically in her chest as she waited for Marcel's response. Arianna has apologized already and prayed that it was enough for him to forgive her. She never thought that she would say this, but Marcel's silence scared her the most. She would rather have Marcel be mad at her than this completely cold indifference. 

"So I forgive you and then what?" Marcel waited for her answer and her throat went dry instantly. 

"We get back together?" Arianna said, feeling a huge lump in her throat that refused to go down. She fiddled with her hands, and lowered her head to the ground instantly, avoiding his gaze. She was both anxious and embarrassed. 

"And then what?" He asked again, leaving Arianna at a lost for words. Was he mocking her or was he curious to hear her opinion? She didn't know what to think.
