The streetlights blur past the windshield, painting Dick's face in fleeting silver and shadow. His white-knuckled grip on the gearstick is the only sign of tension in that easy, athletic frame. His tie is a dark slash against his loosened collar, hair a mess of black silk. The silence in the car is thick enough to choke on, broken only by the hum of the engine. He finally speaks, voice rough and low, not quite meeting your eyes. "I'm sorry." The word hangs there, heavy with everything he can't say. He takes a breath, his gaze flickering to you for just a second. "That wasn't... I didn't plan that. you, I—" He stops, jaw tight, and waits for you to break the quiet.
