“Can I have a moment, Karen?” I ask her, biting the inside of my cheek to stop the tears from coming.
Damn it, I can’t believe I’m about to cry because of Peter.
“Yeah, of course,” she tells me softly, laying one hand on my shoulder before leaving. Once I’m left inside the office by myself, I walk among the very literal garden that has taken over the floor and head toward my chair. I sink down on it and, eyeing all the roses sitting on my desk, I finally bury my face in my hands and let the tears come.
Even after I ignored him, Peter just had to try again.
I don’t even know if I should be feeling angry or…God, I don’t even know how I should feel right now!
Maybe there’s a chance that Peter’s really sorry. Maybe there’s still time to save things.
At the very least, I have to hear him out.
Reaching for my purse, I grab my phone and dial Peter’s number. Pressing the phone against my ear, I hold my breath as I hear the tone on the other side of the line. A few seconds later and Peter’s voice replaces the tone.
“Ash? Thank God.”
“Peter…” I merely whisper, not knowing what to say.
“Thank you for calling me,” he continues, anxiety in each of his words. “Thank you for giving me a chance to explain things. I know I don’t deserve you, Ashley, trust me…but I can’t live without you. I don’t know how to go on without you in my life.”
“You hurt me,” I find myself saying, lowering my voice into a whisper.
“I know, and I’m sorry for that,” he whispers back at me. “But, please, give me a chance to explain myself. Have dinner with me, Ashley.”
