          Eventually a sigh made it out of her mouth and gave her the opportunity to breathe afterwards. It was a deep breath, trying to win some time to gather her thoughts, sort them.
                    This was.. important and she should not fuck this up more than she had over the course of the last weeks. 

                              ❝ Or maybe you would be right. Because
                                  I have been difficult, and kinda an ass. 
                                  Maybe you would be right because I
                                  treated you in a way you didn’t deserve
                                  and that I’m sorry for. And that I wish to
                                  make undone. But I can’t, yet… ❞
          She made a pause and bit her lip for a moment. 
                              ❝ Yet this… it hurts. ❞

          Garrus averted his gaze, keeping it tacked onto the floor as his jaw clenched and his swallowed dryly. Unfortunately for him his throat was so swelled with tension that his tongue stayed pressed to the roof of his mouth, so responding to Ella would be relatively hard. Finally when he looked up, his rubbed his throat and held up his hand to cease her speaking. 

“I  believe  you  and  I   share   some
 similar  traits.  You’re  not  the   only
 difficult   person   here,   so   am   I.
 Ella, this hurts me as much as you
 but I–”

                                  But he…

“—Want to die dying,  I  could   have
 you. That I loved you and you loved
 me back. I don’t want to  leave  this
 galaxy   without   knowing   I   could
 of   done   something  to  keep  you
 you happy and satisfied  for  only  a
 moment.”
