"Your not gonna lose me, I'm too stubborn to die. I thought we already discussed that." He said with a light smile on his face. Nicolas closed his eyes for a second despite the night being his time of day. He couldn't shake the fatigue that still lingered from not sleeping the night before.  Reopening his eyes he continued to look at his once high school sweetheart. "I never said you had to come with. I offered to ease your mind, if anything I would prefer not to put you in danger." Nicolas said softly trying not to offend her.<br/><br/>Standing up from the love seat he broke eye contact to look around the room. Doing this for three years they had little to show for it materialistically speaking.  Though the hidden safe under the floorboard would say differently. Turning back to Nora he lightly ran his hand through her hand, before placing it on her shoulder slightly. "I don't know about the whole paradise thing. Sounds kinda over rated to me." Nicolas said with a light chuckle rotating his neck in a counter clock wise motion to ease some of his stiffness in his neck.
