Redhawk Caldera i've seen this one before.

For the first time, he seemed to have left her without a response. She was clearly still pissed, but her retort was lacking the venom that she had possessed earlier. Elwood had a smug moment -- where he would have liked to stick out his tongue and say something immature -- but he stood and stared at her through narrowed eyes.

He let her stew for a few seconds, then he took a deep breath. "I'm not. I'm not any better," he exhaled. In his mind, he was exemplifying what he had just said -- that he was able to admit his flaws and that he wasn't perfect and, yes, he had screwed up. But he was sorry.

"So what now?" he finally said after a long pause. How would they proceed? Had he officially ruined everything? He had built a life in Redhawk Caldera, but Finley had been there first -- would he need to pack his bags? He looked away, studying the landscape behind Finley, but his gaze slowly found his way back to her. Is there any way to fix this? he thought, his heart hammering against his ribcage.
