Feyre had changed. Embry had noticed it within seconds; had felt the aura that surrounded her as soon as he arrived. He tried to mask the pain that flowed, like torrents, into his steady gaze. He willed his breathing to halt enough it its incessant hammering to allow him the ability to speak.
To explain everything. How could he put it into words? How do you begin the repair of a broken relationship? Her words cut like daggers into his heart and soul. But all along, he had been expecting them. And they helped ease the guilt, somewhat. He needed this just as much as he hated to admit it.
She was backing away. No, his mind screamed. No, not again! Not now. And upon the impulse, he lifted his paw gingerly forwards; afraid that she would run and just as afraid that it was he that she was recoiling from. But, of course, he knew the answer to that. He had hurt her. Feyre, of all things.
"Do you..." his fruity voice was jagged between breaths. "Do you remember what I said to you the night before I... left...?"

I stopped an old man along the way,
hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies.
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you".
