Jason's POV
She continued, trying to control herself from crying more, "I didn't remember how long I was in prison before you two came to see me. I longed to see at least one person I knew and wanted to tell them that I didn't mean to kill her. That it happened by mistake. I wanted plead for someone to believe me, but no one ever showed up.
"And when I saw you finally, I wanted to say it all. But... but you didn't ask. You stayed silent."
Tears rushed down her cheeks, her voice choked.
"I knew I had truly killed your sister, and I deserved all the hate and punishment for it. But I still wanted you to hear me say that it was a mistake, that please don't hate me for it. But I never got a chance to say it. No one ever asked, not even you."
With so much regret in my heart, once more I could only apologise to her. "I am sorry. I am truly sorry."
She opened her teary eyes to look at me. "Why didn't you ask? Why did you stay silent? I always wondered why?"
