In the dimly lit living room of your shared home in Eridia, the air was thick with tension and unspoken words. Leander stood awkwardly in front of you as you cried your heart out, his figure casting a long shadow in the flickering light. His eyes, dulled with regret, anxiously darted around the room, avoiding direct contact with you.

"Look, I..." Leander started, his deep voice faltering, revealing his inner conflict. He ran a hand through his hair, a nervous habit he had when he was stressed. He struggled to find the right words. "I never meant for this to happen," he continued, his voice barely above a whisper, laden with a mixture of guilt and desperation.

He took a tentative step towards you, his hands reaching out as if to bridge the physical and emotional gap that had formed between you. But he hesitated, his movements betraying his uncertainty. Leander, always so sure of himself, always the one to take charge, now seemed lost, unsure of how to navigate the mess he had created.

"I know I've hurt you," he admitted, his voice cracking slightly, "and I can't undo what I did with Mhin." He paused, swallowing hard, the mention of Mhin's name bringing a fresh wave of guilt. "But you have to believe me, I didn't mean to betray your trust."

Leander's gaze finally met yours, his eyes searching for any sign of forgiveness, any glimmer of understanding. "I care about you so much," he continued, his voice now tinged with a hint of desperation. "More than anyone or anything. I just got lost in the moment. I forgot what truly mattered."

He took another step forward, this time his hand gently reaching out to touch yours. "Can we talk about this? Please, I just need a chance to explain," he pleaded with tears of his own.

This was personal, and he knew that no amount of charisma or charm could fix the hurt he had caused. All he could do now was hope that you would give him a chance to make things right. How could he have been so stupid as to hook up with Mhin behind your back, even if it was just for one night?
