He smirked lightly. "Sure but one more question before I do: How much do you regret it?" he asked, curious to actually know the truth. He didn't regret it - he thought it was possibly the stupidest thing he'd ever done but he didn't regret doing it - but he wasn't so sure Stephen would see things the same way he did.

I didn't though because he looked terrified in this crowd tonight," He frowned. "I hope this doesn't mean I'm becoming a nice person. I don't want to be nice."
