I sit there, rapt, hanging off Nikki’s every word. It’s an awful story. A story of bad luck, bad timing, and sheer unfairness, but it’s gripping. I’m not the only one. The whole team are on the edge of their seats, staring intently at Nikki, listening to her story.

The silence is broken only by the odd gasp from the team.

“So, Bitters I understand,” Parker says.

Nikki looks at her with a sad smile.

“But Grinns? I thought they only existed in Difi?” she continues.

I look over at her, confused.

“Oh, sorry, Difi is how we refer to Hell.”

I nod my head and wait for them to continue.

“Nikki, I…” Lucas interrupts her, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I can see the pain on his face, and I hurt for him.

Nikki turns to him and smiles.

She reaches out and takes one of his hands in hers.

“I’ve made my peace with it, Lucas. I know you would have been there if you could. I’m not saying this to make you feel bad. I’m just telling you all what happened to me.”

Lucas looks like he wants to say more, but he doesn’t. Nikki gently pulls her hands back into her lap, not letting go of his hand, like somehow, she’s using it as a shield to guard against her memories. She closes her eyes and goes on.
