She sighed when he moved his hand out of hers and just as she was about to drop it he cast the bandages on her hand and she sighed once more. Still there trying to make everything better, typical of Sabel regardless of the hurtful words she had flung at him. "I can TRY to let you in. That is the best I can do. I can't promise you that I can let that wall tumble down... it is there to protect me and it is a bit difficult to let it go. But I care a LOT about you so I will definitely try. The only people that I have really let in are Finlay and Dylan... They scare me too," she said looking at him from a totally different perspective now. Could she let him in? Would he run away if he saw the real her? "I am sensitive... But there is good reason for it. You hit the nail on the head when you said I have no self esteem. There is reason for that too..." she trailed off and tugged the sleeves of her pyjamas down over her hands as best she could.
"Does it make any difference for me to apologize again? I truly am sorry for all that has happened. I am sorry that I tried so hard to push you away. I am just sorry, in every sense of the word," she choked out as fresh tears threatened to fall. She bit her lower lip and averted her eyes. Finishing with the bandages, he cast a cooling charm upon the fabric to try and help soothe the sting. "I'm not asking you to tell me all your life secrets Lexi. I'm simply asking to be more than a handkerchief you can wipe your nose on when you need it and tuck away when you don't."
Once her hands were attended to, he holstered his wand and watched as she covered them with her pyjama sleeves. "Don't apologize again. There's no sense in it. Simply, I ask you to start trusting me. I have done everything I can to try and show you I can be trusted and I can do no more on that end." Sticking his own hands in his pockets he watched her closely, the anger and pain turning numb inside him. "I am working on my tongue; its a long process that's going to take time, but I will try to be more open and honest with you." "But Lexi," his eyes turned a little more intense, bearing some of the fatigue that had gathered in him, "I'm not going to chase after you any more. You walk away, I won't follow you again."
