"Wait, Alex.."
"I want to go home." She was quiet now, after her furious words only a moment ago.
"I'm sorry. I didn't realize."
"Realize what, that you could have died?" She turned to face him again.
"I didn't ... I didn't realize you cared."
"Wh.." She stared at him, stunned. "Are you kidding? You're kidding."
"No." He shrugged, and swallowed. "I'm sorry."
"You are the worst Detective I have ever met. Do you develop your leads through dumb luck, or what?" She wasn't sure whether to laugh or..
"I'm an idiot." He sighed and closed his eyes, looking defeated.
"No. You did something idiotic. There's a difference." She sighed, and tugged at his coat again, pulling him down towards her. She slipped her arms around his neck, and he haltingly put his arms around her slight frame. "Don't ever scare me like that again." She whispered.
"I'm sorry." And this time, he knew why, and he meant it.
"Forgiven."
