"No one?"
Unable to meet his eyes, she shook her head. It was kind of embarrassing to admit how much he'd affected her. How he'd ruled certain parts of her life, even in his absence.
"Not once in two years?"
Her nostrils flared. "No! I said I haven't. What? You don't believe me?"
He took the bowl from her and set it on the table before wrapping both arms around her and hugging her against his chest.
"I should have never let you go, Jess. I should have gone after you. I should have fixed it. Whatever I had to do, I should have—"
She pulled back to look into his eyes. His watery gaze drifted to the ceiling as he tried to get a handle on his emotions.
"I have plenty of regrets of my own, Sed, but I've decided to let them go. You should too. We can't change the past, but we can move forward."
"So much wasted time."
