So...that's an opportunity to correct."</em><br/><br/>He took another drink...exhaling...<br/><br/><em>"And then...I think Delaney.  She might very well be thinking I'm...well...a nightmare."</em>He shook his head as he looked to J.J. and laughed.<em> "I know that the people who say they're not nightmares are invariably nightmares and it's on me to own my fuck ups and just prove it to everyone.  I just...well...I hope some of them give me a chance to prove it but in the end...nothing worth doing every came easy."<br/><br/></em>
