The ribs are the only things that feel sore still, but even that is subsiding,”[/color] Avery informed Nic. While Avery answered Nic's questions, his eyes never left Kimiko's. When Nic was done, Avery sank down on the couch next to Kimiko. He stared into her eyes for a long time before they flickered away and examined her face. He wanted to brush his fingers across her bruises and will them away. He wanted to kiss them and take them from her, and suffer with them so she didn't have to. He wanted to kill Terry all over again. Nic asked how Kimiko had received them, and Avery's face hardened. [color=#B0C4DE]”No promises,”[/color] he said in response to Kimiko's inquiry.

In the end, Cassi's growing headache won out. [color=#DB7093]”Nic… Could you come in here, please.”[/color] He was going to think she was fragile and weak and couldn't do anything.

He could see the tension between them but also the need. He understood that all too well. When Caden heard Cass call for Nic, he turned his head to the kitchen before looking at Nic. [color=#006400]”You should go,”[/color] Caden said seriously. [color=#006400]”These two are fine for now.”[/color] Caden moved to follow Nic into the kitchen. He glanced back at Avery and Kiki before giving them some privacy.
