"This isn't a game, Abbey." He sighed. He'd already apologized. What more did she want? "I really am sorry for what I called you. It was rude and I was out of line. It's just that I didn't know... I thought you were..." He sighed again. "Okay, I jumped to the wrong conclusion, despite all the evidence pointing to that conclusion. But I have to admit, your weird explanation isn't helping me to figure you out."
Abbey stiffened. "Figure what out?" she asked crisply.
From her body language it appeared his second attempt at an apology hadn't worked either. He couldn't think why not—he may not be very experienced when it came to apologizing but he'd said sorry. What more did she expect?
Nick threw his hands in the air. "Figure out who you are! What you want from me! Why you came up to my room!"
"And why I had sex with you?"
Nick nodded. Good, she was beginning to understand his predicament.
