Stone Circle We don't talk anymore

Valette's response pained him so much, there was no warmth in her voice. What once was a sound he longed to hear had turned as cold as the dagger in his heart. He longed to see her smile just once, had he really hurt her so badly? His ice cold eyes drifted up from the ground to look at her hazel ones, they were still so kind. However the rest of her face was cold and wrathful, as if she could never forgive his disappearance. He hadn't chosen to leave, he'd forgotten her, and everyone else. He'd been hurt terribly, but upon his return he was hurt more than he'd ever been before. No physical pain could match knowing that you'd hurt one of the only people you'd ever loved.

He didn't know what to say. He wanted to go back to Krypton's den and hide, and hope that she'd come around some day and everything would be fine again, but he knew that wouldn't happen. So he spoke. I've been gone for a long time. I'm sorry. He managed to say, his voice had grown even lower and huskier over the time he'd been gone and now. He was completely full grown now, any sign of puppy like youth was gone from him.
