Kessen did, in fact, feel dazed as Nick graciously led her into her large bedroom at the end of the hal way. She col apsed onto her bed with a smile bigger than Texas plastered across her face. “So, you love him, then?” Nick asked it in such a way, it was almost as if they were discussing the weather.

She sat up. “What would make you say that?”

Nick chuckled. “Oh, Kessen, where to begin? The kissing, the teasing, the flirting—it’s like I’m back in middle school with you al over again.”

“Except you don’t have to fight off the boys anymore, Nick.”

“Don’t I, though?” His expression turned serious as he walked across the room with his hands in his hair. “I’ve never been good at letting you grow up.”

“Are you going to turn al serious and sentimental on me?”

He flashed a wicked grin. “Never. But you’re like a sister to me. Heck, you are my sister; as much as I tease you two, I real y do want you to be happy. Even if it does mean that by protecting you from yourself, I am in fact taking my life into my own hands.”

“What do you mean?”

Nick’s gaze fel onto a sharp letter opener in the corner of the room. Oh, she mouthed, then looked down at her hands and laughed.

Nick laughed. “Remember the chocolate chip cookie incident?”

Her stomach coiled just thinking about it. “How could I forget?”

Nick sat down next to her and sighed. “Your mom said you couldn’t have any more cookies, so you took it upon yourself to prove her wrong and eat the entire bag.”

“I threw up for hours.”

“I held your hair.”

“You’re a good friend.”

He snorted. “Yeah, I know. Not many friends would do that for each other.”

Nick grabbed her hand and sighed. Honestly, it was freaking Kessen out a bit. It was rare she saw the façade of “everything’s funny and nothing is serious” Nick fal . It wasn’t that he was faking it; he just did an excel ent job of shielding his emotions. It was his one fault, or so Sammy said.
