43 Nikki

I’m an idiot.

How could I do something so daring? So pathetic? So completely stupid and ruin everything I have been working hard on?

My phone chimes in the background and I cringe automatically. Mick has been trying to get a hold of me since yesterday morning, but I didn’t want to answer him, I didn’t want his voice to ruin what Bronson and I shared.

He told me he was going to grant my request and do something fun, I had nothing planned, just didn’t want to be cooped up in another hotel room while he went out and played mogul. I found the first thing that caught my mind, a small amusement park that was going on fifty years old. It was spontaneous, but just seeing Bronson’s face register with shock as I revealed what we would be devoting the remainder of our day doing was worth it, even if we chose not to go inside.

Instead, he surprised me. He laughed, had fun, even spoiled me with hidden glances and light humor. Everything was perfect, until it wasn’t.
