NICOLE
We'll be leaving tonight, and the truth is that I wish we could stay longer, even though I have responsibilities awaiting me back home.
But I don't want to think about that.
I'm in the lobby, waiting for Roman because he forgot his wallet back in the room. He's been so distracted lately, but it's a good look on him. Different from what I saw back home.
I'm having a fun, wild time with him...but there's a part of me that keeps wondering what'll happen when we get back.
Will this last? Do I truly believe him when he says he'll do what he can to stay with me?
I don't want him to go to jail.
Not for me.
I'm chewing my bottom lip while thinking about this when I'm approached by someone unexpected. My heart sinks a little at the sight of his face.
Roman's friend. Malcolm.
