Chapter 89 An Eternity Of Silence

Dante didn't speak. He looked like he wanted to, but just couldn't, as if something was blocking his vocal cords, and after an eternity of silence, I continued, “ if you really do, if you really, really love Cole, then I'll leave you be. I won't forget about you, I can't even if I want to, but I'll let you two be, and give up on my chances of trying to get you back. But if there is a chance, if there is a tiny little chance that you don't feel strong enough for him, then let me into your life, I'm not saying that you should choose me or anything, but just let me show you how truly sorry I am for the things I did to you, let me show you how much I really love you”.
There and right then, I hit the nail right on the head. All that remained was a response from him, an answer and everything will be complete.
I had poured my heart out, made myself vulnerable before him, and had placed the ball in his court, waiting for him to make the first throw.
