Through her hair, Yates Donovan kissed her forehead. "Baby, I'm the one who should be sorry."
There were too many things he needed to apologize for.
After Hayes Hughes reminded him, he realized he had a list of offenses so long he couldn't even begin to count them.
But she wasn't one to dwell on things and didn't care what prompted his apology.
The atmosphere in the hospital room grew heavy, and neither of them spoke again for a while.
After a long, quiet moment, Yates let her go, lifting his head from the crook of her neck.
Mia Grant looked at him, sensing he had something to say.
But in the end, after what seemed like an internal struggle, he smiled and said, "I don't know why, but I kind of feel like crying. I'm holding it in, though."
"?" Mia tilted her head. 'That's probably not what he actually wanted to say.'
