You're cute, Sasha. Funny as hell, too. And probably the only person in Locke who can out-eat me. And I guess with all the stupid joking I was thinking about everything--

And it was really shitty. I'm really sorry. I didn't know what the hell I was going to say to you, so I just... didn't say anything. And then I got back late, because of the mob--[He shakes his head. It's not a good excuse for being an asshole.]

I should've apologized earlier, but I thought it'd be even worse over the phone.
