Since my night with Nico, I haven't spoken to my mother. She has straight-up ignored me. Not that I care.

Nico finally decided to get a divorce and kicked her out of the house. He welcomed me to stay, but I was accepted for college, which is seven hours away. Though, I thanked him and promised to visit during the holidays.

Our relationship hasn't changed. He is still the kind man my mom introduced me to two years ago. But still, after our heated moment, he hasn't talked about it.

I feel like he regrets it.

But now that I'm in college, I decided not to think about it. Maybe it's for the best if we never talk about it and act like it never happened. It will only remain as a memory.

The spring holiday rolled in, and for the next two weeks, I'll live with Nico.

During the winter break, I managed to convince my best friend Tuana and Sara, my new friend in college, to go on a ski trip since I couldn't handle meeting Nico just yet.

But this time, both of my friends wanted to visit their families. And honestly, deep down, I wanted to see him again.

"Violetta, I want you to meet Steven. He is my colleague and best friend."

I look up from my book. It's been three days since I have been here, and I have mostly been hiding in my room. But today Nico told me he wants to introduce me to a friend, so for the past hour I sat in the kitchen at the island and read a book for an upcoming lecture.

Closing the book, I stand up and walk toward the two men. Shaking Steven's outstretched hand, I smile at him before I turn to Nico. 

He still looks so good.

"Why don't you two sit down, and I get the wine.", Nico suggests and gestures to the living room.

I swallow. I have been avoiding this place since I entered the house.

Nico seems to notice my hesitation, and for a moment, there is an unreadable expression on his face. He turns away and leaves us alone.

Steven walks into the room. When he realises I'm not following him, he turns around and looks at me. Smiling, I follow him because I don't want him to ask what's wrong.

With trembling legs and flushed cheeks, I enter the room. My eyes fall to the couch, and I swallow again, trying to hide my face as Nico enters the room.

"Let's drink.", he says, and he puts the wine bottle on the table.

My cheeks are flushed. This time, it's the alcohol.

I didn't drink much, but my alcohol tolerance is low. Both of the men are still fine, even though they drank almost the whole wine bottle plus a beer.

The two of them talked about their school time, when they met, and about their work. They tried to include me, and I talked about college life. It's been a pretty nice evening so far, and I relax on the couch.

"So do you have a boyfriend?", Steven suddenly asks, and I almost choke on the wine.

Wiping wine from the corner of my lip, I glance at Nico. He seems tense, and his jaw is clenched. A smile creeps onto my lips. I'm not sure if it's the alcohol or if I'm just being petty as I answer him.

"No."

Nico's shoulders relax.

"But there is this one guy. He seems really sweet.", I say, smiling at the men in front of me, while I take a sip.
