I want you to apologize to Jem.

( and no, he is not budging on this. kieren is stubborn as a mule when he wants to be. )

Before we talk about...any of this. You really messed her up, Simon. We've both been trying to move on, and you set that back a lot. It's not me you should be apologizing to.

I mean, if you really mean it. If you're really...serious about all this.
