Believing the Truth Now

Day Fifty-Three…

~~*****~~

Nathan and Stephen proceeded to the balcony. The two were so quiet at first. The awkwardness was still there. They weren't used to fighting and arguing over a matter. This was the first time it had ever happened.

"Nate…" Stephen broke the silence first.

Nathan faced him, just waiting for his following words. Unknown to Stephen, Nathan heard the conversation between Jane and him. He knew that Jane had convinced Stephen to apologize to him.

Deep inside, he was surprised because Stephen's decision could be swayed easily by Jane. 

"I'm here to apologize… I shouldn't have acted like that… in my father's clinic." Stephen lowered his gaze as he couldn't look straight into Nathan's eyes. Aside from Jane's request, Stephen realized his mistake. He took for granted his best friend's feelings. "I'm sorry for being selfish. I mean it."

Nathan remained silent, observing Stephen. He could see the sincerity in his eyes.
