Chapter 16:

The last time Nate had visited campus had been a little under a year ago, when his sister had needed to pick up some paperwork after graduation. When she’d still been attending, he’d also visit on occasion and eat lunch with her in the cafeteria. Even though the two of them had lived together then, they were close.

Which was the reminder he needed that he should give her a call. He’d been avoiding her all week after losing his job at Quartet Air, but any longer and she’d start to get suspicious.

He parked his car outside the business lecture hall, taking the space closest to the front entrance, and then got out and rounded his vehicle to perch on the edge of the hood. The clock on his multi-slate said there were still ten minutes to go before three, so he had time.

“Where the hell have you been, brother?” Neve picked up on the third ring and greeted with a sharp tongue.

Nate chuckled and crossed his ankles, propping a hand back on the warm hood. The sun was out today, hanging bright in a cloudless sky, and if it weren’t for the blanket of snow and the chill, he’d call it a perfect day.

Well, technically, he did still think it was one, but others might not. Proof was in the fact that most of the students who were walking around campus were bundled up and huddled together if they were with friends.

“I’ve already got one sibling who’s constantly MIA, I don’t need another,” she added.

“Never.” He’d never abandon her. Knew how hard it’d been for her at such a young age to be told she was being shipped off to a new planet and the only parental figure she had left was staying behind. Nate had done his best since that day to fill in the role, but he could never measure up to Nuri. “How about dinner this weekend?”

“Yeah, I can do eight. Our place?”

“Sure.” It’d been a couple of months since they’d last eaten out together. “Or, why not go out? Movies beforehand?”

“Sounds way better.” Neve’s voice got distant as she turned away and spoke to someone else. “Verga says hi.”

“Hi back.” Nate liked his sister's boyfriend. The two had dated for a while before making the decision to move in with one another. “Invite him if you want.”

“You sure?” Neve hesitated. “You won’t feel like a third wheel?”

“Not at all.” He would a little, but that didn’t matter. He could handle a bit of discomfort if it meant making his sister happy, and he knew she’d be pleased with the offer. It was important to her that the two of them get along, which meant Nate went out of his way to subtly reassure her they did. Peace of mind was priceless, and Neve deserved nothing less.

“I’ll ask him then,” she said, her excitement obvious. “He was just telling me how much he wants to get to know you better.”

“Was he?” Nate doubted that.

“Of course. I talk about you all the time.
