Gavin withered, faced with Maxwell's anger, averting his eyes as he pulled
the shovel out of the muck again. If only to give his hands something to
do.
"No," Gavin replied, answering the last question first because it was the
easiest. "I hurt her, Maxwell, that's the point. It wasn't - If it was just
- if it was just the kiss, it probably would have been fine, but she
was upset, and I tried to fix it, and I made it worse." Like he always
somehow managed to. His brows knitted together as he thrust the shovel hard
into the ground and tossed the dirt out behind him again. "You don't need
to make promises to hurt people. Especially not if you're me." He thrust
the shovel into the earth again, but paused before pulling it out, looking
up at Maxwell.
"I'm sorry. I told you I was going to do better, and I just - immediately
trudged a good league backwards."
