“Come on, I have apologized a million times already.”

Nick glanced at his partner, puzzled.

“I didn’t know that you hadn’t told her yet, you said you were going to tell her last night. And I certainly didn’t know that she would be there. I tried to call you, but you didn’t answer your phone. I assumed you would be home alone, that she would be angry with you when you told her the truth and kick you out. If I had known that she was there, I would have waited. I'm sorry, since she thinks I tried to kill her me being there when she found out made it worse. I'm sorry.”

Miller was right, he had apologized a ton of times already. But Nick didn’t blame him. Culpability for the mess this investigation had collapsed into rested fully on him. He knew he should have insisted on telling Aggie who he really was and the truth about how they'd met before they made love, even if it meant that they never ended up sleeping together.

And yet he wouldn’t take that back.

What he would take back was pretty much everything else. If only he had told her before Miller arrived, then he could have cushioned the blow. When he had woken up to find the bed empty, he had determined to tell her over breakfast, he’d been half-dressed when he heard the doorbell ring. Finding out the way she had, thinking the man she believed had tried to kill her had managed to track her down, had compacted the issue exponentially.

Still, there had to be a way to fix things, to make things right. It was all he could think about.

“Do you want me to say it again? I feel horrible, I'm sorry,” Miller said.

“No. It’s not your fault. This whole thing was my idea. I'm the one who wanted to try and get to Aggie. I'm the one who thought up the idea of faking an attack on her so I could get close to her. I'm the one who ruined things by falling for her. I'm the one who didn’t tell her when I should. I think it’s safe to say that this is all my fault.”

“I was right there beside you all the way. I could have stopped you from starting this or refused to help. But right now, it is what it is. If you really do love her and if she really does love you then somehow, you'll figure it out. Right now though, you need to get it together. You have been a mess all day, that isn’t helping.”

“I'm trying.”

“Well, try harder because you are about to get another dose of anger over what we did when we go in there.”

Nick knew that, but Sebastian Candella’s anger didn’t bother him. It was to be expected that as Aggie’s father he wouldn’t be pleased with the whole ploy, but his attention would be more focused on himself and the likelihood of impending kidnapping and possible murder charges.
