I am reminded of one of my favorite quotes from
The Matrix:
Quote:
Boy: Do not try to bend the spoon; that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Boy: Then you will see, it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

Your apology is sort of like the spoon in that you don't assert it to change the other person (that's all on them), you assert it because there has been a shift within YOURSELF that you want to convey to that person. Trying to "bend" the other person to forgiving you is impossible. Your apology is you realizing the truth and it has bent YOU, and you want the other person to know that.
But congrats on sending out the apology. You've done your part, now lay it to rest. Whatever her response, just know that you did what you felt you needed to do, and that's all you have to do. The rest is on her.
