Only if she takes the stick out of her butt. People make mistakes. Earlier this year, my not-so-distant cousin hit on me. Yeah, it was startling and I was grossed out but I just forgave him and forgot about it. He's still my cousin and hasn't acted that way since.
I'm thinking this relative may be a much younger niece...
Long story short.....awhile back I regrettably hit on a very attractive female, medium distance relative (who was and still is in a relationship).
I had been drinking but that is no excuse. I would never do it again and learnt my lesson.
We always got on well, before this.
Since the incident she has pretty much avoided me and its been awkward when in her company, the rare times I have been.
Anyway back?
There's really nothing wrong with hitting on relatives. The only issue is that if you have kids, there's a higher likelihood of having a rare disease or a deformity (simply because it increases the risk of expressing a recessive gene that may otherwise be dormant in your family). So, as long as you don't have kids with her, you're fine.
This is taboo, like many other things, because society has an illogical standard that most people aren't intelligent enough to question.
No worries. Don't be ashamed for doing what you wanted to do.

Outside of select portions of Kentucky and West Virginia, you did a bad, bad thing.
But, given how you're going to be around this woman for the rest of your life, sending a written apology was really lame and only made things worse.
There's only one way to make an apology. In person, looking that person in the eye. Failing that, at least a phone call. So I'd see if I could do one of those, pronto.
