Another attempt at an Apology

The dark man would watch as the woman before him would stiffen into a mask that would hide all emotion from him. Her eyes gave away the emotion just as his voice always seemed to give away his feelings. The way she was looking at him and her lack of defensive vocals told him all he neded to know. That Callisto was afraid of him.

The small fact twisted inside him like a sharp dagger to the heart. He wished now more than he ever had before that he had just kept his mouth shut the night she'd stayed in his den. Hell that he could hunt down and kill the bastard that kidnapped and raped her. Sadly he couldnt change the past and that he would more than likely just end up getting himself killed going after Callisto's monster. In the moments before Calli would answer him, Max had to force himself not to burst out in anger. He wanted to run from her, from his feelings, but he already knew that wouldn't do any good.

Her voice, flat and devoid of any emotion, would break him away from the roar of his own thoughts. At least she's being honest was the fist thought that sprang to mind. He was beginning to worry that he would never be able to fix anything between them when she asked if they could start over. How were they suppose to start over? Was this her asking him to be nothing more than a teacher again?

Even though the man's head swarmed with unspoken questions and thoughts he would give a small nod as his eyes searched hera for some kind of answer to the questions he wouldn't ask for fear of making her shut down again. When he found none a small soundles sigh would escape him. "I promise ill try, but I cant promise I wont be protective."
