Finally, we pulled up in front of Tyler and Margret's house and I threw the car in park. Layla was cheering in the back as she undid her seatbelt. I looked over to Nadia, who was hiding behind her long pink hair like a shield. I reached over to her slowly and tucked her hair behind her ear, only to find that she looked like she was going to puke. "Hey. It's going to be ok. Ok?" I whispered to her reassuringly. She lifted her head to the side and gave a weak smile, following a large swallow of her nerves.

"You've got my back if I clam up?" She whispered back, sucking her bottom lip in between her teeth.

It was precious. She was looking for courage, and she looked to me. I couldn’t quite explain why that meant so much to me. But it did. It made me feel needed, wanted. It made me feel more secure because it wasn't out of shame that she was worried. If she was ashamed, there was no way that she would look to me to be her strength, as she told them.

Finally, after these years, Nadia Archer was mine. "They will be happy for us, I just know it. Don't overthink it, ok?"

She beamed up at me, a small burst of pride resonating in her eyes. Those green eyes that could hypnotize anyone if she wanted them to. They held so much life and strength, and they completely enamored me. "Ok." She muttered, averting her eyes, but still smiling. Her expression reminding me so much of the innocent girl I first met. Despite all she had gone through, and how much she had changed, one thing that I admired the most about her was that she still held onto the girlish innocence, even just a little. She hadn’t let the world harden her or dull the shine she held.
