“I’m sorry,” Amy said, “So sorry I didn’t help you sooner, that-”
Mark stopped her with a raised hand. “Thank you.”
“It doesn’t matter how long it took. I’m just thankful you did it in the end. That’s all that’s important now.”
She didn’t deserve thanks.
I think she does. It took her a while, and unfortunately getting forced into it by a villain, but she got past her fears and helped him in the end. And while one might argue that she only did it because she was forced, she was intent on doing it right before that happened. Even if she does think she would’ve chickened out.
“Are you okay?” He asked.
She looked away. Tears were welling out. “No.”
Amy has a lot of thoughts that need venting right now. Hopefully she realizes that Mark is willing to let her vent to him without judgment.
At least I think he is. He seems like a good guy.
