Nik thought about what Marcella said for a long moment, his hazel eyes clouding into a stormy grey. Then he smiled and the momentary darkness passed.
"That is very true. Thank you for reminding me about that." He gave a sheepish look and chuckled. "Sometimes, I get too caught up in the what-ifs that I overlook what is as plain as the nose on my face sometimes. Including the fact that a family's past doesn't necessarily write the future in the same way."
He squeezed her hands. "Well, now that we've talked about all that, I feel a bit better. I'm not going to lie and say that I'm not worried anymore, but at the same time, I feel a sense of... relief. Like I'm better equipped to handle what comes next - whatever it is that may come next."
