His lasagnas were glorious, loaded with cheese and meat, and a bit hard to digest, but yummy all the same. "Next time I make it, I'm gonna send you some, and you better eat it." He said, his brows raised, pointing his index finger at his blonde friend.

Nikki's dad. He didn't want to think of Nikki's dad. Mr. Finn had scared him when he once visited Nikki on summer break, and honestly, he scared him still. "How is he, your dad?" He inquired to be polite, nibbling at his cupcake distractedly, a bit of icing smudged on the tip of his nose.

He continued to busy himself in his cupcake, although, he was no longer hungry. Nikki's reaction to the news broke his heart. For a split second, she looked inexplicably young, like that Nikki whose heart he had broken once before. The breath he had been holding for numerous seconds finally escaped, somewhat alleviating the tightness in his throat. "Yeah, um, thanks." He gave her a weak smile, showing her his ring finger where his wedding ring sat snugly, glinting wildly in the sunlight. He dropped the half-eaten cupcake on a plate, and stood up hastily, nearly knocking over the table. Mouth opened, he rummaged around his brain for the next set of words, but to no avail. "Well," This escalated quickly, huh? "I'm sss . . ." Sorry? Not the best thing to say, mate. "I should be going, Nik." He swallowed hard, blue eyes blinking rapidly, arm extended for a handshake. Awful, terrible, disastrous!

OOC: ;___; *hugs Nikki, slaps Blake*

Blake can cook? Nikki thought raising her eyebrow. Since when? From what she could remember, he had taken full advantage of the fact that someone would make whatever he desired to have when he had stayed at her house over a summer break. The kitchen elves had been stunned by his ability to eat so much food in one sitting. "If I see you make the lasagnas and where you get all the ingredient, then MAYBE I'll eat it." she replied laughing. She was joking of course. If someone was willing to make her food than she was going to take it! Her cooking skills weren't exactly up to par. Her fridge barely had any real food to make a meal with.

"He's doing okay, I guess." she said in response to Blake's question about her father. She could see the brief flash of fear in his eyes at the mention of her dad, and she couldn't help but laugh a little. "His health isn't exactly the best right now. I left work to help take care of him." And to be with him in case the worst were to happen. Twenty-eight years old, living on her own for over a decade, a job that supported her perfectly well, and she was still worried about being an orphan. "What about your mom? Still as crazy as ever?" As obsessive as Mrs. Wright had been about her, Nikki couldn't help but still love the woman.

No. No no no. She was not going to look like a pathetic, heartbroken girl right now! They had ended things ten years ago and hadn't seen each other since. She shouldn't feel so upset about this. And yet she did. It was like being seventeen all over again and finding out that her own boyfriend liked another girl. A flash of anger flared up in her. It was her, wasn't it?! The same girl who kept ruining everything. Sadness filled her again at the sight of Blake's wedding ring, and she stood as well. "Um yeah, o-okay." she said, her voice cracking a little. "I should be getting home anyway." Huh, how ironic. Those had been her same words ten years ago. She avoided eye contact with him as she hurriedly gathered her work papers with shaky hands and placed them in her folder. He was probably looking at her with pity in his eyes. She didn't need his forced apology.

OOC: Nikki is so bitter haha! I feel more heartbroken for Blake.
