"Opps…"

"You did that on purpose."

"What if I did? Where's the crime? Where's the crime…. in caring?"

"No!" she screamed. "Why?"

"Why what?" He sat down next to her. "Why care?"

"No!"

"Stop repeating yourself."

"Why does this always happen to me?" Niles tried to put his arms around her but she got up just out of his reach. "Getting stuck in situations that always end with something going wrong. Why can't I get anything right?"

"You've done plenty right."

"Yeah, name one thing." CC challenged him. Niles swallowed.

"Plenty like uh….um…."

"You can't. Can you?" she walked to the other side of the cellar where the wine bottles where located.

"You started a business by yourself. See…" Niles commented.

"No! Maxwell did! I was his helper, never really got any credit for it though."

"Maybe that needs to change, you know you're good."

"Then why don't I ever get noticed?"

"I notice you."

"Because you have too." She turned to look at him. "You're the servant."

"That's not always true. I do because I…"

"Cause you what?" he reached in his pocket,

"You have something for me!" her eyes lit up. Niles saw that sparkle in them. He handed her a handkerchief.

"You have snot dripping from you nose. If you don't clean it up. I'll have to later." She took it wiped her nose with it.

"There take it." She threw it back at him. He grabbed it with his hands, which was a mistake. It was all wet. Niles cursed under his breath but CC knew what he was thinking. CC paced the floor, looking down. "See, I did it again."

"CC…" She stopped her pacing, looking up him. "I just…"

"Yeah, yeah I've heard it all." She sighed letting more tears flow. "No one thinks of me as a person, I sure the hell know that you don't."

"I came down here to help bring you back out and this is how you repay me?" he stomped up the first two steps. "Fran was right when she left you down here. I should have done the same thing." He turned to face her. "Oh by the way there is another way out of this wine cellar."

"What do you mean another way out?" she stepped forward some. "I have already looked the whole place over and didn't see one." She stood in front of him. "Show me. Show me."

"Why should I?"

"Well," she started pacing again. "You're right. You don't have to." She sniffed. She put her head down. "But we are both stuck."

"You are." He smiled, but she didn't see it. "I know the way out. When you fall a sleep I will be gone."

"You wouldn't leave me in here. You don't have the heart too. Why is that?"

"Why I have a heart and you don't?" he looked confused.

"That too, but I'm talking about you're always there when no one else is?" Niles had to think about that one. He didn't really have an answer to that question. Well he had some ideas. Maybe, it was his fate to be with her after all. Or maybe he was just lucky. Na couldn't be that, cause he wasn't lucky in anything else. What if it was his fate, then that would mean he would have to confess to her that he was in love with her.

"Not really sure. I'm just a dumb servant who can't keep out of trouble." He snorted.

"I never said you were dumb." She shouted annoyed now.

"You didn't have too. I know how you feel."

"You think you do, do ya." She spat. "Get out of my way." She slapped him as she went passed him.

"And where are you going?" he held her wrist tight. She just remembered he was the one that knew the only way out. She stepped back. He let go of her. "No where I guess." She walked over and picked up a bottle from the stash. She held it up, "Let the party begin."
