Heller's Regret, page 34
“What else is there to say?”
“That I’m sorry I’m not good at relationships. Sorry that I’m not making you happy. Sorry I wasn’t here when you needed me.” He swallowed hard, his hand creeping back to my arm as if craving my touch as much as I craved his. “I have many regrets in my life, Matilda. I don’t want to be haunted forever by regretting I put my business first, costing me the woman I . . .”
I held my breath, hoping this would be the moment that changed both our lives. I could forgive a lot if I thought he genuinely loved me.
“The woman I care for.”
Crushed, I yanked my arm from his hold.
“Matilda,” he implored.
“Goodnight, Heller,” I said, proud my voice was so steady.
I left him standing there alone, watching me leave.
