Daniel's mouth pursed but he held his tongue. He didn't need to point out she was in this "cage" in the first place, because, one, she'd reported herself before he could, and two, she was in there because she'd done something so incredibly wrong and brutal that Daniel still had a hard time wrapping his head around it. He'd never have considered her capable of such violence if he hadn't seen it happen right in front of him.

He could accept the apology but he also didn't see what good it did. It didn't make things right between them. At the end of the day, Eva had flipped out and tortured a man, and the man was dead. There were underlying issues, things Daniel had seen or figured out since XaXing, but he'd honestly believed she started to move forward. Not that it would ever come to this.

Some part of Daniel wanted to try again, the part that took knocks and kept on going, and he was willing to give it a shot until she continued. At least she didn't finish her sentence. Daniel knew where it was going even if she stopped herself. She might be saying she was sorry, but she still tried to justify why it was perfectly okay to go after the man the way she did. Some part of her didn't think she was in the wrong.

There was only so far Daniel could get pushed and Eva quickly found it. Disappointed and frustrated, he only shook his head at the aborted excuse. He didn't take the peace offering. "I meant what I said. Two weeks. Think about it?"
