Her words fell at his retreating back, but they are enough to halt him. He turned to face her, regarding her under the dim light of the room. He wondered if she'd ever know how many times he'd prayed to have that chance back--that chance to start over, to prove it to her.
He didn't know where to start when it came to mending the rift that he had caused and the years had deepened. He didn't know how to begin making it up to her, and to their daughter. No, he didn't have the answers to the hardships that they would face. But if she'd let him, he'd stand with her and they could face them together. He wasn't foolish enough to think that things would go back to how they were anytime soon--if ever. Wounds may heal, after all, but they leave scar tissue in their place. But he was willing to devote every second to working toward making it better. Who knew, maybe they could even be better than before, having tasted the bitterness of lonliness for so many years?
He doesn't speak as he moves back to stand in front of her. He felt akin to a highschool kid again, unsure of himself and the boundaries she set. He wanted nothing more than to just take her in his arms and hold her. He ached for that, as he'd ached for it every day since his departure. "Let me, and I'll spend every day proving it." He didn't wait for an answer, as he slipped his arms around her and pulled him to her. He didn't deserve the privledge of the embrace, but could not help himself. "I want to be there for you, and for Desiree. You two are my whole heart." He stops then, breathing in the scent of her, having missed it so. "In time, you'll see that." He promises. They had a long, bumpy road ahead. It would be hard--damn hard. But whatever the outcome, he was grateful for at least this moment.
