I didn't know what to say," he said softly, "I still don't, but you're here now, and all I can say is I'm sorry." He knew Brix was too stubborn to accept this apology, knew she would stay mad at him. He had said things she'd find inexcusable; now he was going to lose her again. "I never stopped caring for you, Brix," he murmured, eyes still glued on the floor. "I don't want you to go. Don't transfer; you should've been a shadow from the beginning."
