I'm not upset with you, and I promise you the others aren't either. You were sick. You couldn't help it.

Re: [text]

[superspeeds]

I know. That doesn't help me feel better about it however.

You're too kind to me.

[radiantly]

What would make you feel better?

I love you, and I want you to stop beating yourself up over this.

Re: [text]

[superspeeds]

I don't know.

I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't sulk.

Re: [text]

[radiantly]

Would it help if we discussed it?

Re: [text]

[superspeeds]

I don't know. I hurt you, Angelica. And I thought I was doing it to help you. I don't know if discussing it will help me forgive myself.

Re: [text]

[radiantly]

I've suffered worse you know. Besides, I was more scared than hurt. And anyway it doesn't matter about me.

I was really afraid for you.

Re: [text]

[superspeeds]

You shouldn't have needed to be. I should have been able to control myself.

Re: [text]

[radiantly]

Pietro, I'm not mad at you and I'm not holding what happened against you. It wasn't your fault and it was beyond your control. Please don't dwell on this. Please.

Re: [text]

[superspeeds]

[several minutes with no reply]

I'll try not to.

[text]

[radiantly]

Promise?

Re: [text]

[superspeeds]

Yes. I'm sorry.

Re: [text]

[radiantly]

[and this time she doesn't reply for several minutes.]

So am I.

Re: [text]

[superspeeds]

You have nothing to apologize for.

Re: [text]

[radiantly]

Yes I do. I was very angry with you, and it wasn't something you could control.

Re: [text]

[superspeeds]

Nevertheless, you shouldn't apologize to me.

Re: [text]

[radiantly]

What should I say then?
