I knew whwat I wanted to say, how I wanted to say it. But for some reason it was still hard. [color=9D36FF]"I don't regret it at all. Because you're here with me and we're figuring this out one step at a time."[/color] I said still holding onto Gratia's hand with two of my own shaking slightyl still. [color=9D36FF]"I'm sorry for the headache I've caused you, I know this has been more than you ever deserved to deal with. But I wouldn't hae been able to do it without you."[/color] I knew I didn't deserve the girl. It was so odd. She was smaller than she seemed. To me Gratia always seemed larger than life. Massive even, like a huge pillar of will. Jericho was like that too. I felt small in comparison. [color=9D36FF]"I don't know how I'll ever make this up to you. I think about it sometimes when I'm trying to sleep at night. How will I ever pay back Gratia Mindaro?"[/color] [color=9D36FF]"I don't know yet, and I don't think I ever will know. Just something I will carry with me, not unlike Vittoria's death. A feeling that no matter what, I owe you, that I need you to be a part of my life."[/color]
