“Back then, when you were giving me the cold shoulder, you packed up all your things and took them with you…” He buried his face in her hair, hugged her tightly, and anxiously absorbed all the scent from her body, afraid that she would run away again.
"It's all my fault..."
"It's my fault for not knowing how to speak, that made you angry."
