Still doing 3 sentences? Blackbonnet and ruined?

"I didn't want to ruin you," Stede tries to explain, words unable to formulate the response that Ed truly deserves, the apology that will never be enough, even if he does somehow find a way to shape it. Truthfully, he isn't even all that certain that Ed is actually listening to him, or if the intense stare in dark eyes is merely mapping out every inch of his face that the other man would like to run his knife through. "Instead," he soldiers on, pausing only to swallow the stone in his throat, "to keep that from happening, I went back to what nearly ruined me."
