What Comes After Forgiveness?

Let’s say you have forgiven someone an offense, then what? Wipe your hands of them? Dust off your feet and be on your way? Run back to them and go back to the exact same relationship?

Ensure a repentant heart is involved and work to see if trust can be rebuilt as you cautiously enter back into relationship?
