Patty managed to take Lee to his apartment without him falling due to his intoxicated state. She helped him out of his suit, removed his socks and shoes, and his trousers. Lee was trying his best to stay awake as Patty was fixing him up for bed. Patty was about to get up to go to the kitchen and boil some water so she could damp Lee using a towel instead of making him go get a shower but he grabbed her wrist before she can even get up.

"N-No. No. Please. Don't.", Lee said, his voice sounding scared through his sleepy and intoxicated haze.

Patty held his hand and used her other hand to touch his face.

"I'm not leaving sweetheart, I'm just gonna go get something in the kitchen okay? I'll be back, I promise.", she said, soothing him as she gave him quick kiss on the lips and bolted up to the kitchen.

When she went back to the room carrying a bowl of warm wated, she saw Lee already fast asleep. She smiled at the sight of him and knelt beside the bed. She dampened the towel in the warm water, wrung it, and wiped Lee's face.

When she was done, she quickly cleaned up and walked back to the room. She stared at Lee's sleeping form.

"You look so innocent when you're asleep.", Patty whispered as she caressed his cheeks.

Lee stirred for a moment at the touch but didn't wake up. Patty looked at the clock on the bedside table.

4:06 AM

Patty debated on whether she should go home or not. And after a few minutes of weighing her options she finally decided to go home, kissing Lee on the forehead before she go not without leaving a glass of water, tylenol, and a note next to the clock on the bedside table.

Lee woke up with a massive headache. Last night's events were a bit hazy for him but he remembered being with Patty. He searched the bed for his phone only to find it on the bedside table next to a glass of water, tylenol, and a note. He sat up slowly, squinting his eyes as he did and read the note.

Good morning Lee! I know you have one hell of a headache right now so please drink the tylenol next to this note okay? Take it easy today. Maybe I'll see you at work, that is if you're already up by 7. I love you sweetheart.

Patty

Lee smiled at her last words and reached for the glass of water and tylenol. Getting up from bed, he checked the time on his phone only to be bombarded with notifications of unread messages and 13 missed calls. He looked at the time.

2:37 PM

He groaned and opened the messages. There were 5 messages from Patty, 4 from Ron, and the other 9 from his other colleagues. He checked who have called him and found out that it was all from Patty. He read Patty's messages and ignored the other 13.

"Lee, I'm already at work. If you don't come in by 8, I'll assume you're still asleep." - 7:34 AM

"I couldn't get out during my lunch break, there's a lot of paper works and arrangements to be done. I'll try to come over once I'm done here." - 12:45 PM

"Lee why aren't you answering my calls. You can't possibly be still asleep at this hour." - 1:25 PM

"Lee I swear to God if you try to pull a stunt like last night I will kill you myself. Answer me goddamn it!" - 1:47 PM

"Damn it Lee! Ron says you're not answering him too. Answer me!" - 2:00 PM

"Holy shit.", Lee whispered to himself as he finished reading the messages.

He immediately dialled Patty's number as he walked towards the bathroom.

"Patty Fenn.", her voice sounding perfect to Lee's ear.

"Hey Patty.", Lee said, his voice sounding a bit nervous.

"Lee! God! Why haven't you answered any of my texts or calls?! Damn it Lee!", Patty cried on the other line.

Lee could tell she's been working all around and is clearly tired just by the tone of her voice. He got out of the bathroom and went to the kitchen.

"Patty I'm fine, really. Still alive up here, no blood all over me. Don't worry. I read your note and I took the tylenol. Thanks by the way. And-", Lee was cut off by Patty.

"Don't you dare make jokes right now Lee! It is not funny. Do you know how worried I was?! I had to decide whether or not I should stay at your place but knowing that we have work today, I decided to go home, leaving you all alone there. When I got home last night I couldn't sleep thinking you might wake up in the middle of the night and think that I left you! I..", Patty said, her voice fading.

Lee just stood there in the kitchen, hearing her ragged breath on the other line. He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to think of what to say to her.

"Patty..", Lee whispered softly to the receiver.

Patty didn't reply but Lee unmistakingly heard a couple of sniffs and whimpering from the other line. That's when he realized that she was crying and what kind of asshole he really was.

"Jesus, Patty. I'm sorry okay. I didn't mean to say those things. I'm sorry, sweetheart. I'm sorry. But I really am just fine. I just woke up a few minutes ago, sweetheart. I promise you that I'm fine, just one hell of a headache but I'm all good sweetheart. Please stop crying.", Lee said, trying to make her stop crying.

Lee never wanted to see, know, or even hear her cry. Especially when it's his fault that she is.

"Patty? Sweetheart?", Lee said when she didn't reply once again.

He was starting to feel anxious considering that she wasn't responding to anything he was saying. He ran a hand through his hair as he paced the kitchen.

"Patty..", Lee tried again as he closed his eyes, his voice sounding desperate, hoping she'd say something this time.

"I love you Lee, please don't scare me like that again. Please Lee. Don't be an asshole anymore.", Patty said, her voice a bit shaky from the crying.

Lee smiled as he opened his eyes.

"You wound me, Patty. Just kidding. I love you too, sweetheart. I won't scare you anymore. I promise.", Lee said as he chuckled.

He heard someone call Patty over the line and some papers ruffling on a table like someone's finding something.

"I have to go Lee. I'll come over later okay? I love you.", Patty said, sounding like she's been through enough work which she probably already is.

"Okay sweetheart. Don't stress yourself too much. I'll see you later. I love you.", Lee said and hung up the phone.

He walked over to the fridge, smiling like shit to himself. He looked inside the fridge only to see a few bottles of beer, two pitchers of water, an orange juice and a bottle of scotch.

"Guess I'm going out for a late brunch.", Lee said to himself, closed the fridge and walked back to the bedroom.

Meanwhile at work, Patty's been going all around preparing some memos, doing some research, making calls the whole day. She just got off the phone with Lee because there was a call on hold for her. She quickly pretended to ruffle over the papers on her desk as if finding something as she wiped the tears on her cheeks.

"Hold on a second Ron.", Patty said, discreetly wiping her cheeks as Ron stood by the door.

She got some documents for a show she would be directing the following day and stood up.

"What is it?", Patty asked.

"Your sister's on line one.", Ron informed her, slightly shifting his weight to his other leg.

"Got it.", Patty said as Ron turned to leave her office.

She got back to her seat and picked up line one.

"Patty Fenn.", she said into the phone trying to sound casual.

"Hey there Pat.", the unmistakeable sound of her sister's small voice said on the other line.

"Is everything okay?", Patty asked, sounding a bit concerned of her sister's tone.

But the other line stayed silent. Patty was getting anxious, her sister wouldn't call if it wasn't important or an emergency. There has to be some reason.

"Tess.. What is it honey?", Patty said using her motherly tone on her as she encouraged her sister to tell her whatever it is she wanted to tell.

Patty waited for a moment and heard someone whimpering. Patty's heart stopped when she realized it was from Tess on the other line. She went from calm to a concerned, desperate sister wanting to know what was going on with her sister.

"Tess, what is it?", Patty tried again and waited.

"I.. I'm in Manhattan. C-Can I see you?", Tess said from the other line, her voice a bit muffled.

Patty was a bit shocked from what her sister said. The last time she saw her sister was two years ago at Tess and Danny's wedding. They always kept in touch even when they're not together. And Patty knew that Danny would never hurt her sister even in the slightest ways. Would he?

Patty looked up on the clock on the wall.

3:17 PM

"Of course you can honey. I'm almost done with my shift here. Can you wait for another half hour?", Patty asked as she arranged the papers on her table and putting them on a clipboard.

"Y-Yeah. I-I can do that.", Tess said.

"Okay. I'll meet you at the coffee shop across FNN. You know where that is right?", Patty said, still arranging some papers and saving some files on her laptop.

"Yeah. I know.", Tess said.

"Okay, I'll see you later. Text me if you're there okay?", Patty replied just as she finished arranging the paper work and shutting her laptop down. She was about to hang up when she thought of something..

"Tess..", she called to her sister on the other line.

"Yeah?", Tess replied.

"This isn't about Danny, is it?", Patty asked as she stopped on her way out of her office, waiting for her sister's answer.

But no response came.

Patty ran a hand over through her hair as she closed her eyes and inhaled sharply.

"Daniel Ocean's gonna have a beating he will never forget for the rest of his life."
