„Hey Montana, it's me"
„Messer, do you know what time it is?" She took a glance on her watch.
"Sorry, did I wake you up?" Danny felt immediately bad for waking her up this early - again. He knew that she'd been in the lab longer than expected today and he also knew that he'd kept her up almost every night for over eight months now. I'm sorry Linds, he thought, but we are led to those who help us most.
"No, it's okay" she said sleepy and rested her head on her hand. "What is it?"
"I'm sorry to bother you, but I had trouble sleeping. I realized something and I needed to talk to you about it."
Lindsay felt sorry for Danny. Ever since the day his brother got hit, he couldn't sleep very well. Since then he often called her in the middle of the night, just to hear her talking about her life back in Montana, 'bout her mom, her dad, her sister, and her niece and nephew. Then she felt she was welcome here, here in his life.
"Want me to come over to your place?" she always asked the same question, though she knew the answer already.
"No" he said. "No… just listen to me, okay?"
"Okay" she whispered.
"Lindsay…" he said. "I felt like I need to tell you… I just … sorry I'm not good at this"
Lindsay smiled. "It's okay" she assured him.
"Linds, just to clear the air … I ask forgiveness"
"For what?"
"For the things I've done you blame me for."
"Danny?" she said a little bit shocked. I guess we know there's blame to share, she thought.
"I mean… for being such an asshole sometimes. For calling you Montana, though I know that you want me to stop that" Lindsay smirked. Ya, he often drove her mad by doing so, but she would let him do it all again and again.
"Danny, there's no need to do so"
"Yes, Lindsay there is. Because so much of me is made of what I learned from you, now that you're in my life."
"Danny…" Instinctively she shook her head.
"Please Lindsay; let me speak…" he interrupted her. "I just wanted to let you know, that I'm thankful for every single day I can spend with you. And I wanted to let you know, whatever way our stories end" he sighed "Whatever way, Lindsay …I know you have re-written mine by being my friend."
"I'm glad that I can call you my friend, Danny. You make me feel home here, and I know it isn't easy after all what happened before I came here, after all you've been through." She felt tears coming up in her eyes. "Danny, before you came into my life, I never thought I could feel this way. And who can say if I've been changed for the better?"
Cause I knew you… I have been changed for good. But this she would never tell him.
