The man who realized he had stepped on a landmine suddenly stopped playing with her hair.
"I won't do it."
These words were not convincing at all.
"Why won't you do it?"
Amelia raised her finger and listed James' past mistakes.
"You used to hold hands with Emily."
"..."
"You even took her to the hospital."
"..."
"And..."
James quickly interrupted, "You're talking about sex, I haven't done it, and I won't. And before, it was just a fling."
Amelia retorted, "So you mean Zack was just having a fling too, he just got more into it than you did?"
James panicked, "That's not what I meant, I don't know what Zack was thinking, and you can't compare me to him."
Amelia snorted, pushed him away, rolled to the side, and lay on the edge of the bed, "I'm going to sleep, don't come over."
The man behind her couldn't believe that just a moment ago they were making love, and now they were sleeping separately.
It's all Zack's fault!
James stared at her back, hesitated for a few seconds, then wrapped himself and the blanket around her, and carried her back.
When other couples have small conflicts, the man usually pursues the woman, apologizes and begs for forgiveness.
But he, on the other hand, wrapped her up like a giant burrito, leaving only her head exposed, and sat cross-legged in front of her.
The man leaning against the headboard was completely unaware of his inappropriate behavior. He just held onto her and took responsibility for his past mistakes.
"I apologize for my childish behavior in the past. I am truly sorry."
"If I could go back in time, I would not have tested you like that. I would have just told you that I love you."
"Baby, don't be angry about what happened before. I have changed myself and will never use another woman to make you jealous again."
