...xXx...
It had been two months since that faithful night. Kagome did call him every time she wished to visit their daughter, which was two to three times in a week. He tried to make a conversation, but the atmosphere between them often became awkward, and whenever they reached his home, she always did her best to pretend he didn’t exist. No, she didn’t deny him access to their son, but she seemed to put a wall between them. He truly wished she would stop being so defensive. Of course, her action just told him how much he had hurt her.
He had thought that they had taken a small step forward that night, but it seemed he was wrong. Still, he would not give up.
“Kagome,” he said when they reached her unit.
Kagome sighed inaudibly and said, “Come in.” She herself knew that she could not put up with anymore of the tension. They needed to clear the air, so to speak. Like it or not, she had to deal this now or later.
Sesshōmaru released the breath he didn’t know he was holding and took his chance. Stepping inside her unit, he looked around and admitted that Kagome could support herself and their son well. She might have lived in uncomfortable neighbourhood, but within the apartment, all was elegantly furnished.
After Kagome tucked their son in, they both occupied the living room, sitting across each other with a hot cup of jasmine tea.
“I know that I have said this, but I wish to tell you that...” He locked his gaze with hers. “I am sorry for everything.”
Seconds ticked by.
When he thought she wouldn’t answer him, she replied, “I know, and I forgive you.”
Hope bloomed in his heart. Before he could say anything, she went on, “Both of us are young and foolish.”
His heart lurched uncomfortably. Did he lose her for good now?
However, what she said next made him smile in relief.
“People make mistakes, and I’m willing to give us another chance.”
Should have made him sweat more, but i loved the chapter either way. Good work!
