The next morning she walked downstairs Avoiding Lysander at all costs

Lysander had barely slept so he noticed when she left the room. He got up and walked downstairs a few minutes later and stayed in the next room.

She got a water chugging it

He sighed and walked up to the doorway. ”Betty. I’m so sorry.” he said sincerely. ”I lost track of time and had to hunt before I came back. I didn't mean to let you sleep alone.”

She ignored him and walked past him

He let her walk past and made no attempt to stop her. She had every right to be angry at him. ”Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?” he asked, not really expecting an answer.

She walked past him out the door

He groaned, sat down and placed his head in his hands.

She sat on the deck legs crossed

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. “I’m such an idiot.” he muttered to himself. ”I don't deserve her and she shouldn't have to put up what I’ve put her through.”

Betty closed her eyes gently

Lysander stood up and began pacing.

Dhe didn't move

He growled softly at himself, his hands were getting warmer.

Betty gently walked back in

Lysander stopped pacing when he heard her enter.

She closed the door and sat on the couch silently

He walked over to the sink and ran his hands under cold water.

Betty sniffled wiping her eyes

He froze at the sound as he was drying his hands before walking over to the doorway. He wanted to hold her and apologize again.

She was now in the couch her knees held tightly to her chest

He carefully approached, sat beside her and hesitantly placed his fingers on her shoulder blade.

She looked up at him with red eyes

He sighed and cautiously placed his hand against her back. ”Betty, I’m truly sorry. I never meant to spend more than two hours, at most, away from you.” he said sadly. ”I have no excuse for hurting you like this.”

" you know how I feel about sleeping alone" she had told him a while back that sleeping alone scaref her

He nodded, remembering that conversation. "I know and I'm very sorry. I honestly didn't mean to do that to you."

" you could've called$ she said

He blinked as the idea hadn't occurred to him before nodding. ”Yeah.” he agreed softly. ”I should have. I’m sorry, love.” he said, the epithet slipping out easily.

She sighed" just please don't do it anymore I can't handle any more nightmares'

”I won't.” he promised, gently moving to hold her. ”I don't want you to have those nightmares again.”
