Sonny was so focused on trying to get everything back to normal, he couldn’t recognize how much he still cared about her. But because of that, he’s now lost the person he loves the most. Tearful Nina tells him how much she hates that she keeps hurting him. If she could go back in time and change everything, she would. She tells him she finally found peace in Nixon Falls. He was a big part of that and she developed real feelings for him. “‘Mike’ never expected to fall in love with you either,” he says. Nina would still give all that up to save him the pain he’s in now. Sonny says they can’t change the past, only live with the consequences. They kiss. She apologizes. He kisses her again.
