Re: 8:55pm, on the dance floor (Kami, Jack)
"If you call chasing you all over the venue begging for a dance, making an ass of myself with another man, and drinking the open bar dry of whiskey fun, then yeah, I've been having a regular party of one." Unlike the first time he'd wisecracked back at her in the stairwell, though, there was no hint of humor or remorse in his voice.
"Kami," he continued, "I don't know what more I can do. I've apologized for screwing up, I've apologized for letting my own personal problems prevent me from being there for you, I've apologized for daring to live in the same building as you." He gave a short, frustrated sigh. "Do you want me to fall at your feet and beg forgiveness? I know what you really want is for me to drop dead."
