 NeeNee Omniscient Omnipotent Pie Maker
She bit her lip. Um... yes? Where have you been?
Caroline couldn't meet his eyes. It was a little embarrassing. Not to say most of this conversation in retrospect wouldn't be humiliating. He'd have to settle for a nod.
"I know. I'm sorry." Major step. Caroline just about never uttered an apology. They were to be used sparingly for when she had REALLY stepped in it.
She resisted the urge to ask why, if he understood, could he even tolerate her, but it wasn't any of her business. She wanted to know, but then again, she kind of didn't.
"Or not," she decided. There were things she wanted to explain, but it was too much too fast. She settled for a disclaimer, "Just, I'm not perfect, I do make mistakes, and I tend to save them up so I can make them in spectacular fashion."
So you'd think I'd understand when other people make them...
But it's just harder for her to understand, since she had always judged herself so harshly.
