She didn't need to apologise. Sirius had nothing but the utmost respect for her and James's relationship, and he would have been offended had she not had fond memories of their life together. He felt her hand move out of his, and he quickly grabbed it back and held it tightly, turning his head to flash her a stern, but tender, smile. It was the best way he could tell her that under the circumstances.
While she might have been worrying about all the things left unsaid between the two of them, Sirius was actually mostly fine right now. Sure, there were issues remaining - the fact that she took the map from the other James's room being a major one - but she wasn't sitting outside Voldemort's door waiting for him any more. She still loved Sirius, and a breakup didn't seem imminent. All of the immediate problems were...well, they weren't resolved, necessarily, or at least Sirius didn't know the details of their resolution, but they also weren't tearing the two of them apart any more. So all in all, he was all right, at least for now.
Glancing back at Lily, he said, "I wish you'd told me that story before. I would've never let him forget it." And although there was still an awkwardness between them, he managed to grin at her.
