He could only step back a few paces and watch Amity leave helplessly. He stared deeply at her retreating figure as waves of pain surged through his heart. He had hurt her before, but it was all due to a misunderstanding. He swore he would never hurt her like that again. Why wouldn’t she forgive him?
