Isaac looked around as if checking to see if anyone was within listening range. Ellen saw that the others had left for the house porch and that he seemed relieved.
“I want to apologize,” he said, surprising her.
“What for?” she asked. For the way he’d insinuated himself into her day?
“For how I treated you after I met Nancy.”
She remained silent. She couldn’t have been more shocked than if he’d announced that he would be marrying the next day.
Concern flashed in his gray eyes. “Will you forgive me?”
“I’ve already forgiven you, Isaac,” she said. “Some time ago, in fact.”
“Then we can be friends again?”
She gazed up at him, wishing that they could, while knowing that it wouldn’t be wise for her to trust his friendship again. “I don’t think that is a gut idea.” She gave him a sad smile. “We can’t go back to the way we were.”
Isaac eyed her with sorrow. “We can’t go forward and forget about the past?”
She shook her head. “I can forgive, Isaac, but I can’t forget.”
