Paul found Emma on the beach pathway away from their hotel. She was in deep thoughts
and looked emotionally spent.
“Do you want to talk about it?” he asked after catching up to her.
She hung her head and answered hesitatingly, "Perhaps later."
“I won’t pry but you know I’m here for you, right?” he replied with a touch of concern.
“Sorry I abandoned you today. Can you forgive me?”
She looked at him with an apologetic smile. It melted his heart.
