"How?!" I returned, exasperated. I lifted it gingerly, something crumbled & I winced. "It's in a really bad way. Where would I even start!"
"Does that matter? Just...try. Please?" The brown eyes deepened & shimmered.
"Um...well, technically if the reason it's in this condition is due to your own doing, then you'll just have to deal with it as is." I offered a crooked, contrite smile.
Slight furrow in her brow, uh oh.

The brown eyes lowered. Through the eyelashes peeked...sorrow? Pain? Remorse?
"I..." she said quietly, then trailed off.
I examined the broken & dejected heart laying before me.
"Aside from that, I don't know how long it will take. Can you wait?"
Silence.
