Tim felt all the fight leave him as he heard Nathaniel honestly apologize. His anger was still there but he knew Nathaniel was telling him the truth even if he wouldn't admit it to him. His body relaxed and when it did, Nathaniel stood up. Tim rolled onto his back and Nathaniel offered him his hand. Tim ignored it and stood up.
"Just because you apologized doesn't mean that I'm letting you off the hook. If I see you around Dominique again, I won't hesitate to beat the hell out of you."
"Well, that seems childish since we are business partners. I will have to see her from time to time."
"You know exactly what I mean," Tim said, growling.
"I know what you mean, Tim. However, I am looking into what happened. Whenever she is in danger, I will always be around. It is not to spite you or make you feel inferior. It is because she belongs to me and I love her."
"I can protect Dominique," Tim said as his hands balled into fists.
