“Maggie, I’m sorry, I should have told you the full story. I will never lie to you again,” Sam said. I looked at him, waiting for more. “That’s it?” “Yep, that’s it. When one is truly sorry, the only words that matter are the apology, identifying what exactly the apology is for, and a promise to not do it again. You don’t need an explanation. I was wrong, and I’m sorry I hurt you.” “Oh,” I said. “‘Oh’? You look disappointed.”
