Spotting Ellie on a bench, Dallin slowed his pace. He was trying to give himself some more time to think. What would he say to her? What would she say to him?
Of course, though, he made it to the bench. Without looking at Ellie he sat down... a good ways away from her. And he didn't say anything. Because he didn't have anything to say to her.
Ellie's heart jumped when she heard footsteps. Looking up, she saw Dallin approach the bench and sit down... far away. He wasn't looking at her. Trying not to frown, Ellie took a deep breath and sighed. This was going to be difficult, but she would just have to swallow her pride and shove away her stubbornness.
Things already weren't going as planned. She had been hoping that once she saw him, she would think of something to say. But no such luck. Her mind was completely blank. Except the two words that were pounding on her skull, wanting to form into words.
"I'm sorry," Ellie blurted out quickly.
"And I know sorry isn't really enough, but..." Ellie fidgeted with her coat buttons and looked across the grounds.
"I really am sorry. For everything." She looked back at the ground and continued to fidget, hoping he would say something because she didn't know what to say anymore.
