To think that Rebecca had wanted to talk after all of this time was a shock. She hadn’t come to see him while he was stuck in the med bay, or even left a message. So why did she want to talk now?

“Yeah, come in. You can sit on my bed.” He motioned for her to do so. When she eventually did, and closed the door behind her, Aerin took a seat back at his desk.
“What’s on your mind? You look pretty bummed out.”
She quietly sat down on the bed, not making eye contact with Aerin before she spoke.
“I’m sorry for being stupid enough to get captured. You got killed and that’s my fault.”
“I started training again as soon as I got cleared, so I won’t be that stupid ever again.”
And that was it. If he hated her after this, she was fine with that. She was completely prepared to leave if he told her to get out.
