Nico

Nico stilled, holding Toni’s limp body against his own, not quite sure if he heard her say those three words he was so desperate to hear or if he made them up in his mind. He pushed her to her limits, making her take such a long trip. Toni needed to rest, and he needed to get a handle on what the hell was going on. If his hunch was correct, Bierman was more involved in Toni’s first mishap than he admitted to. Nico’s only concern was keeping her safe and making sure no one would be able to get to her again. If Zac was a threat to her, he wasn’t sure he’d be able to secure Toni’s safety.

Nico spent the rest of the day working on his report and video chatting with Heather. She was holding down the fort back on the island, and he was happy to hear the reporters scattered when they heard Toni was no longer on the Isle of Palms. He hoped they had snuck away unnoticed, but he was sure that sooner or later, word of their whereabouts would leak out and they would either have to head home or find a new safe place to hide away.

He quietly worked in his old room, not wanting to leave Toni’s side while she rested. He wanted to be the first person she saw when she woke up, and honestly, he wanted to have a long discussion with her about those three little words she whispered just before she passed out. But he also knew avoiding his parents, especially during dinner time, would only lead to more hostility, and he didn’t want that. Nico knew Toni was picking up on his father’s mood, and that was exactly what he didn’t want.

Nico showered and dressed for dinner, leaving Toni to rest in their room. He decided a private conversation between him and his parents might be the best way to handle his father’s hostility.

“Nico darling,” his mother stood from the table to hug him, “how is Toni?”

“She’s still resting, thank you for asking,” Nico said. He took his seat at the table, feeling his father’s heated gaze, and sighed. They were going to have to get things settled sooner or later. He just hoped to be able to eat before having to discuss problems that had been festering for years.

“Let’s just get things out in the open before she wakes up,” Nico said. He stared his father down, waiting for his anger and judgment.

“I can’t believe you would come into my home and expect that we would be all right with you sleeping with some woman. We have rules, Nico. They are in place for a reason.” Nico couldn’t help his chuckle. His father was sounding downright barbaric.

“What purpose does the rule of no sleeping with the woman I love under your roof serve?” Nico asked. His father turned three shades of red, and Nico worried he was having a heart attack. His dad looked about ready to burst.
