Her grip on his arm tightened unconsciously.
"I don't know when it went wrong," she admitted. "But you need to know that what I showed you wasn't what I felt." Her voice softened, almost breaking. "I don't hate you. I never had and i never could."
Her eyes trembled slightly as she looked up at him.
"Also i didn't come with you because of any agenda.or whatver you are thinking" she continued, the confession coming faster now, as though once begun it couldn't be stopped. "Yes… I lied. But I lied because I wanted to stay close to you. I wanted to see if you had changed. If you were still… the person you once were. Not the person everyone said you became."
She took a small step closer, closing the distance between them.
"I just wanted to be near you," she said quietly. "There was no other reason."
