As she sat oppisite him, she knew this would never work out. There was too much history that she couldn't forget.
She owed herself the chance to know if she could forgive him. The simple answer was no, she couldn't.
She spoke quietly,"I'm sorry, i can't do this".
He looked at her with a vacant expression in his face. "You can't do what?".
"Forgive you" she answered, quietly. "I wish i could, and i have tried, believe me i have. I just can't get past what happened".
He nodded, sadly at her. "I do understand", his tone was sombre and filled with sadness. "I think i knew, deep down, that it was too much to ask of you. I knew you could never forgive me for what i did".
She reached down to collect her purse."I think i just realise now that i don't need a father", she admitted, truthfully. "I'm an adult and i can take care of myself".
He nodded in agreement. "I am proud of you. You have turned into a fine young woman".
They said their goodbyes, and he watched her walk out of his life, like he had done to her.
