Receiving a sincere apology is often hard to come by in this day and age. Giving one makes it much more interesting wouldn't you agree? The wheels in your head spin with ideas how to make your apology heart felt and genuine.

After going into the kitchen to pour herself a glass of tea she looks at me and before she could say anything I apologized. I let her know I didn't mean to sleep in that late and was in fact excited to help her
