ROMAN Our hotel room has a veranda with the ocean right in its backyard, and that's where Nikki and I have dinner. I'm over the f*****g moon right now. For months, I've obsessed about this, now I finally have her and we're thriving unlike ever before. Nikki is my endgame. There's no doubt about it in my mind. I want to spend the rest of my life with this woman. I can't take my eyes off her. She's watching the waves distractedly and she just seems so...relaxed. Happy. It's a sharp contrast to the mess we were in a few days ago. But I know for a fact that I'm not relaxed. Not entirely. I've got a lot to redeem myself for. I haven't given her the security she needs, and the truth is that it's a miracle she's here to begin with. I won't miss another chance to set things right.
