The next day, Jason called Valeria to apologize. He tried to explain, to mend the damage with promises that he hadn’t meant what he said. But Valeria’s voice was cold and distant. She was deeply hurt, not just by his accusations, but by his outburst in front of her family.
Valeria refused to take Jason back. She was not only hurt but also offended that he would scream at her while her parents were in the next room. The humiliation of his public anger had cut deeply, beyond what she could easily forgive.
