Garret stared in stunned silence as Catherine shifted awkwardly in her seat. Wanting to give them some privacy, she picked up her bowl of oatmeal, excused herself, and stepped out to the front porch.
In all the time that he had known Lauren, he had never made a mistake this bad that it would provoke her to snap at him in such a way. It was new and rather refreshing, but very scary at the same time. It was scary because that meant that he would have to keep himself in check once again. He couldn't get too comfortable or he would add more pressure on Lauren. He would have to wait and allow her to go at her own pace. It didn't matter how much he wanted to know more about her, if he stepped out of line like this again, she may distance herself completely.
"I'm sorry," he said once again. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to- I didn't know it would make you feel that way. I stepped out of line and I apologise. It wasn't my intention to..." he sighed. "I won't make that mistake again. You don't have to forgive me, but just know that I'll try my best to..push down my curiosity."
