James looked taken aback for a moment then he threw his head back and laughed.

When he next met Matt’s gaze his shoulders were still shaking. “That’s it? That’s what you came up with? You think this is all some elaborate plot so that I can get my leg over?”

Matt felt his cheeks fill with heat. “Well, how the hell do I know what you want?”

James sighed. “Wow. I must have hurt you pretty badly if that’s all you think of me, huh?”

“I got over it,” Matt lied.

All of the fight seemed to go out of James and he hunched forward and stared at his wrung hands. “I’m glad,” he said quietly. “I wish you never had to get over anything. I wish I never hurt you in the first place. I’m sorry, Matt. I’ll tell you every day until you believe me.”

Matt could see nothing but truth in James’ eyes when he looked up at him, and it made him fold in on himself, his incomprehensible need for combat ended by James’ words. This wasn’t a competition to see who could get one up on the other, it wasn’t a battle and James hadn’t brought him here for anything other than an attempt at reconciliation. It was up to Matt if he wanted to accept James’ olive branch.

Matt knew he was at a crossroads and there were only two paths he could choose—

forgive James and have the friend back that he’d missed so much over the years, or get up and walk away. He didn’t ever have to see James again if he didn’t want to. But even the thought of never seeing him again caused an almighty ache in his chest. Yes, James had hurt him when they were eighteen, and hurt him badly, but how long could he keep making him suffer for what he’d done?

Maybe it really was time to forgive and forget. If he didn’t then he hadn’t learnt anything from his father’s death, had he? How much would he love a chance to make things right with his pop? It was too late for that, but it wasn’t too late for James. Matt leaned across the blanket and placed a tentative hand on James’ shoulder.

“You never have to say you’re sorry for that again. It was ten years ago—a long time. I forgive you and I think it’s about time for me to forget what happened too. Time for both of us to forget.”

“You mean that?” The hope that surged in James’ eyes brought a lump to Matt’s throat and tears began to form but he kept them hidden.
