Not Your Fault

Aaron's body shook violently as he wept in Candace's arm, and before long, Candace found herself crying too, while Lucy watched them both with tears in her eyes.

Thankfully, Candace had led Aaron back into the room, and they were seated on his bed now, where he sat sobbing uncontrollably. Anyone could tell by the way he wept that he was deeply sad.

"I'm sorry," Aaron cried.

"I'm so sorry," Aaron kept crying.

She didn't know what to say or how to respond to his apology. She was too overwhelmed by her emotions to say anything. A huge lump had lodged in her throat, making it impossible for her to say anything other than cry.

Her heart felt like it was going to burst out of her chest, and she didn't know if it was because she was hurting or if it was because of the love she felt for Aaron at that moment.
