Marc la regarda longuement.

"Je dois protéger mon projet. Je ne te fais plus confiance," dit-il fermement.

"Laisse-moi te prouver que j’ai changé."

"Que fais-tu ici? Tu veux saboter mon travail?"

Isabelle éclata en sanglots.
Isabelle burst into tears.
"Non, Marc. Jamais!" Elle retira timidement sa main et fit face à son frère.

"Je suis revenue pour m’excuser. J’ai fait une erreur en partant. Je veux réparer les choses."
"I came back to apologize. I made a mistake by leaving. I want to make things right."
Marc restait sur ses gardes, mais il vit la sincérité dans les yeux de sa sœur.
