was willing to forgive and forget. And she would be wise to do the same. “I’d like that.”
He looked at her for a second, just looked at her face, as if he were seeing it for the first time. She wondered what he saw. If he could tell how conflicted she felt.
“You want to get out of here?” he asked.
“And go where?”
He shrugged. “Does it matter?”
He was right, it didn’t matter. As long as she was anywhere but here, torturing herself.
