[He can sense the fear in Kevin's voice, which wasn't William's intention at all. He's realizing that he might have been overly ambitious in starting this discussion at this point, even though it's something that he's wanted to say for a while.]

Kevin... [He swallows the lump in his throat that he hadn't even realized had formed.] I'm not angry with you. There is nothing to forgive.

[And then just like that, William's going to let the conversation go for the moment. Because he suspects it will not be fruitful at this point. At least not the way it's going.]

I will not say anymore Kevin, though what I said still stands. And I hope you will at least consider what I said. You do not have to agree with me, though I would appreciate it if you at least try to think about where I am coming from.

But I will not pester you anymore on it. Not on today of all days.
