“Nikolas found me walking by the river, and as soon as I saw him, I realized I’d been waiting for him to come for me. Watching him approach, I felt a moment of brilliant clarity and the world fell away until there was only him. Last night when my world fell apart, it was Nikolas I clung to, him I needed. I didn’t know if my feelings for him had grown deeper because of the night in his apartment or if I was finally seeing what had been there all along. I love him.”
