Summer slipped her hand from under his. Why \/now\/? She blinked, and a tear rolled down her face. \u201cI don\u2019t \u2014 no thank you, Sir Knight.\u201d Carefully formal. Deliberate distance. She couldn\u2019t bear to let him \u2014 any of them \u2014 in again and be hurt again. They\u2019d forget about her, soon enough, like always. \u201cCan you please just let me alone to die?\u201d she mumbled.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m sorry I didn\u2019t stop it, you know I wish I had, you\u00a0know\u00a0<\/em>I wish I could\u2019ve!\u201d He held his head in his hands. \u201c\u2026I, you, you\u2019re cared for, Summer,\u201d he looked back up at her. \u201cI\u2019m so sorry.

“Don’t, don’t — ” she tried to stop him, but the words kept spilling out of him, and she flushed hotly, guilty and wretched. “Percival, don’t please. It’s not you, it’s me, I’m … I’m a bad person. I’m a liar, and selfish, and horrid. I don’t deserve to be here, I don’t deserve to be cared about. You can’t — I was born broken. You can’t fix me. Nobody can fix me.” She gulped, and the tears she’d been trying so hard to hold back started to slide hotly down her cheeks.<\/p>\n
