Laxel released a shaky breath, looking so much like a kicked puppy even though she was the one that was hurting.
"What do you mean?" She asked again when it appeared that he wasn't going to answer her.
"I failed to realize what was happening to me and I hurt you. I could not bear it if something like that were to happen again." He looked away from her, his eyes staring out into the empty space, not looking at anything in particular. "I believe it will be best to not correct my mistake and to nullify our engagement."
Best?
He believed it would be for the best?!
