"Hey, you're home early!" Ro-Ena's voice trailed from the direction of the living, situated comfortably on a couch, back faced away from the front door, obvious that the book she was reading mainly engorged her.

"Yeah uh...change of plans," Nick replied back while taking his shoes off, then headed towards where Ro-Ena was and allowed himself to flop at the empty spot beside her. "What are you reading?"

"Stuff about MPDs and DIDs, I have this huge project on it for one of my classes," she ceased his curiosity while closing her book and turning her attention on Nick. "So, what caused your plans to change?"

"Uh...Reese, actually," he retorted under his breath, while stretching and resting both his feet up on the table in front of him, as he slouched his body on the couch in order for him to rest his head on the back of the couch

"What did she do?"

"I think it’s a matter of what she didn’t do!" Nick replied with a hint of disappointment in his voice. "She never showed up!"

"No? Is she okay?" Ro-Ena's eyes curled as she propped her entire body up and a worried expression was drawn on her face

"Well, at first, I was worried because she wasn't picking neither her cell phone or home phone. So, I went to go see her at her place, you know, just to see if she was there. When I got there, I found a note on her door saying how some emergency came up and she had to fly to New York to visit a friend in need, or something to that sense"

"Oh...well at least you know she's okay!" Ro-Ena smiled while cuddling into Nick's arms, as she rested her head upon his chest.

"Yeah," he said so softly it sounded more of a sigh more than anything else. He leaned his face closer to hers planting a small kiss on her forehead. "I'm beat, you want to go to bed?" he grimaced

"I'm sure you have 'sleeping' on mind!" Ro-Ena chuckled

"Who said anything about sleeping?" he winked, while gently pushing her aside to allow himself to get up from his position, as he held his hand out for Ro-Ena to hold.

"My feet hurt, I can't walk. Can I have a piggy back ride?" she crunched her face like a little girl begging, with a hint of a smile.

"I better get extra score for this!" Nick returned her smile as he turned his body back from her, "hop on!"
