Elijah blushed feeling so embarrassed. He placed a hand on his as he leaned in to speak, feeling relief and yet still having to apologize. "I am so very sorry. I know you've been such a kind and wonderful person. I shouldn't have thought the worst , it was my fault I thought you sounded defensive. It made me worried, and I didn't want to push you away. I am happy to have you here." He shook his head hiding his face. "I feel so silly for thinking it. I hope you forgive me."
