The door to her bedroom opened while Nura was working on her project behind her desk, Nicolas walked in with 2 chocolate milkshakes. He placed the glass down in front of Nura, and she looked up at him, he sent her a smile.
"Thank you." She smiled back.
"No worries, you know I take care of my smart sister." He teased and she rolled her eyes playfully.
"I know I'm hard on you at times, but I'm your brother, I love you. You and mom are my whole world, you know that, right ?" He raised his eyebrow and she nodded.
"Are you okay, tho ?" She asked him.
"I'm good." He nodded, waving the elephant in the room off. He didn't want to talk about the whole police incident.

"Why don't you wear the medal he gave you ?" He looked confused.

"Well, you ain't getting these." He shook his head, touching his necklace.
"Please, we can switch them. One week I'll wear them and the other week you can." She said.
