"I didn't want you to find out like that. That I was in that corridor, that is. And I'm sorry I didn't do anything, didn't prevent it." It's hard for me to say the words without any preamble, but I realize this might be my only chance. I didn't expect to get it so soon, but I'll be damned if I don't take it. "I didn't get to tell you that on the roof. Our conversation went differently than I would have liked."
