There is nothing to forgive. We all mourn and move on in our own ways. I am truly happy for you, Angel. I hope you live a long, happy life here, and I am glad to have met you and to be your friend. It means a great deal to me. [It may not seem like much, with them having only just met, but Anders had figured himself a lost cause at this point as far as friendship goes.]
