During their married days, Patrick Cortez who was in his prime was busy with missions almost all the time.
When he could not make it on their wedding anniversary; when he could not even go home on his wife's birthday; when he could not be by her side when she was sick; when he was late for their date or family gatherings; he had always apologized to her saying that he was sorry.
Now, even after 19 years, all he could say to her is that he was sorry and Miranda Reese is sick of it. She is tired of hearing his apology.
Can he just don't do things that he has to apologize for? She used to try to understand but... she is also just a human too! She has her own limits!
"You haven't changed at all, Patrick Cortez," Miranda Reese coldly utters after a long silence and slowly withdraws her hand from the teacup. "If all you can do is apologize, why did you even meet Alice and stir her up?"
