He just didn't know how to tell her. Everything he did seemed like it didn't matter. All his past actions seemed to mean nothing. All the sacrifice and the pain. What else was he supposed to do?
"I'm sorry..." The words fell from his lips unhindered, drawing a new belt of emotion from him. He wanted to disappear. He wanted to save her from all the pain in her life. "I'm so sorry...."
Lexi cried harder as Sabel hugged her so tightly, the emotion flowing out of him and washing right over her, it seemed. She wrapped her arms around him and balled her hands up in the back of his robes. "
And I'm sorry I always seem to hurt you, Sabel." The words came out choked and so quietly. She didn't mean to be like this... it was just that aside from Salander, Sabel was the most important person in her life. She was selfish... she was stupid... and she felt like the lowest of the low in that very moment.
