<em>~ Nicci off with the girls to bed ~</em><br/><br/>Nicci was pleased the girls said they wanted to go to bed too, perhaps her saying it had helped them speak up for it and a good sleep.  She stood by the door and watched Mari kiss the guys goodnight, and smiled at the vivacious woman's confidence holding the door open for her as she walked towards it and then held it too it for Mila, before raising her hand in a brief farewell to the guys and shutting it behind her.<br/><br/>As the girls started to go up the stairs, Nicci hesitated and then called up to them, "Guys, I'm going to go make myself some hot chocolate to help get to sleep, would either of you like one – or something else like hot milk?"  She knew that no matter how tired she was, her head was full of all her first impressions and she'd always found that there was nothing like a soothing hot drink and that wonderful rich aroma of chocolate to relax her, when she was a little stressed and she also thought it might be a nice thing to offer to do for the others too.
