Hailee's POV
With a pounding heart, I stepped into the room and shut the door behind me. Nathan, who was breathing hard, turned his back against me, and I swallowed hard, not knowing how to begin. It was much easier with Callum and Dane, but with Nathan, it was as if it was the most important moment of my life... like everything dawned out to this.
"Hailee, say whatever you wanna say... I need to go take a bath," Nathan urged, his teeth gritting.
I swallowed hard and then took a deep breath before speaking.
"I'm sorry…" I apologized sincerely, my voice soft, my eyes glued to his back.
Nathan scoffed bitterly. "For what?"
I took in a deep breath again and stepped closer. "For not being truthful from the beginning."
His head lowered slightly, fists clenched at his sides. He didn't speak, but I could feel the tension in the air grow tighter.
"I should've told you everything," I said, swallowing hard. "About Callum… and Dane. About the bond forming between us."
