He stared at her for a while then questioned, “so by not learning from my mistakes, I will always be in need of forgiveness?”

Because of the heat, I haven’t been able to walk much. Yesterday, I could. I sat watching the birds flying around with their eyes aimed at the sea, waiting for fish to come too close to the surface. It’s how they feed and live.
The words, ‘Please forgive me’ sang from a cellphone nearby, pulling my attention away. To my left a few feet away, a female sat, her mind miles away. The words keep repeating for a while, as she glances in the direction of her handbag to her left.
Then returned her gaze to the sea, nodding.
Minutes later a male voice said, “You aren’t answering your cellphone?”
“There is a reason for that?” she responds, turning to him, to her left.
From the corner of my right eye, I could see them.
“I was just calling to tell you how sorry I am and please, please,” he pleads. “Forgive me.”
