You felt his arms snake around your waist from behind, pulling you close to him. Sighing, he rested his chin against your shoulder as he tilted his head to the side to glance at you.

His finger gently pressed against your chin to force you to look at him as his blue eyes bore into yours, “Listen, I’m sorry…okay? You know I didn’t mean what I said, I just had a long day…” he said softly, planting a kiss on your lips, wiping your tears away.

— as always, he manipulates your forgiveness.
