Caleb inhales deeply through his nose, and slowly lets it out. He thinks...he can feel at peace with this. More of the initial relief he'd felt starts to settle in, replacing any anger or bitterness.
"I forgive you," he says, finally meeting Gabe's eyes for more than just a fleeting moment. "And I'm sorry you were scared that bad. I hope things have been good for you here, and I hope..." He bites his lip a moment. He doesn't think he can bring himself to voice it, that Gabe may have regretted what happened. His voice, when it returns, is quiet. "I hope I didn't hurt you."
