It’s fine, Bailey said, and with that June felt like the other woman was giving her an out. She could just continue her day as if she’d finally offered Bailey an apology without actually saying it. But no, she wasn’t going to cop out. “No, it’s not,” the hacker scoffed lightly. Holy shit, where to start? “I know that saying this to you is long overdue. I was- harsher to you than you deserved. I had my reasons then, and to me they were valid at the time…” June wasn’t about to lie and say she felt she had been wrong at the start. Somewhere down the line that initial rejection had twisted, though, had become a misguided feeling devoid of solid basis. “But, well, eventually I guess I just went on being so cold towards you more out of habit than anything else… And I’m sorry”. June thought it would have been more difficult to say that to Bailey but surprisingly, it wasn’t. The words left her mouth naturally, sincerely. Frankly, June wasn’t expecting anything to come out of this. It was merely something she felt was necessary, even if the headmistress’ daughter ended up telling her to fuck off and turned to leave. “You’re a good person, Bailey. You’ve proved that time and time again, and-” June pressed her lips together for a moment, “You didn’t deserve the way I treated you”.
Bailey let her speak with out interruption. A year ago an apology from June would have brought her to tears, now Bailey could seem to give a shit. Staring out the window she watch the rain pelt against the window pane as she continued to speak explaining herself. “It took you watching me mourn Kishan to see me as a person...I understand not trusting me, but June I can’t help but think this isn’t just about how I got into the grid.” Bailey trailed off sighing. Now turning to face June she looked her dead in the eyes. “Are you apologizing for how you acted or are you apologizing for what you and Sebastian are going to do?”
