Lawrence’s eyes held a touch of genuine sorrow as he said,” I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you, but I had things I needed to do.” Nicole’s response was steady and calm, “It’s okay, that’s all behind us now.”

Their relationship had changed; it couldn’t return to what it used to be.

Shifting the topic, Lawrence asked, “Can I go see Nolan and Lana?” He didn’t want to dwell on the past anymore.
