After dinner, the twins insist she helps tuck them in. We go together, the routine surprisingly easy, like we’ve done it a hundred times before. Nova falls asleep first. After Nolan falls asleep, we step out of his room, closing the door behind us.
I hesitate before speaking “Can we talk?”
She turns to me, a hint of curiosity in her expression, but she nods. “Okay.”
I take a breath, and for the first time in a long time, I don’t hold back.
“I’m sorry,” I say. “I’m sorry for everything. For the way I treated you, for not believing you, for choosing someone else over you when I had no reason to doubt you in the first place.”
“Noah…”
“Please, let me just finish.”
She nods, folding her arms across her chest.
“I know you said you don’t want any apologies, but I have to” I murmur, “I hurt you over and over again. I dismissed you, disrespected you, made you feel like you didn’t matter, like you weren’t worth choosing.”
My chest tightens as I force myself to keep going.
“I let you down in every possible way and even now, I keep expecting you to just forgive me like I didn’t spend years giving you reasons not to… I’m not apologizing to earn your forgiveness, I know I don’t deserve it, but I’m apologizing because I know what I did is wrong. It was inhuman. You didn’t deserve any of it.”
Fuck I’m terrible at this, but all I can hope is that she’ll understand what I’m trying to say.
