He said that at the beginning of our trip and never changed his mind.
I really thought he would.
But he didn't.
I guess I wasn't enough.

- Earth to Chan. Come back, we need you to focus.

Niki pulls me back to reality and points at her tablet. Her hair is exceptionally frizzy and wild today. Maybe because we haven't seen each other for the whole week, I notice her quirky looks even more today.

Niki is my port to go to when things go crazy, a stable rock in my life. But man do I have the most eccentric rock or what?
Her red glasses with two different shapes (one circular, the other square), at least ten rings and bracelets from her world travels, and some kind of black Victorian dress paired with combat boots. That's my rock. Visible from far away.

- Listen here. The special effects scenes will be filmed in the studio. But first, you are going to Scotland. For four months! How cool is that? They chose this location because of the castle. The script is amazing. I love it! There might be a sex scene, not much.

- Not again...

- That's what I said! Not again. But the director wants to see you shirtless, and frankly, who doesn't? Anyhow, you're going to be staying at a small village on the coast. To keep the whole crew emersed in the period, there will be no phones or internet on the set. You don't want another Game of Thrones incident with a water bottle, we all know how that ended...

- Bring a bottle. Got it.

- Oh Chan, did you doze off again??

- No..?

- I don't know what happened to you. I send you on vacation to relax, and you return in a worse shape than before. You're all melancholic and dreamy. What happened?

- Nothing. I did the usual. The cabin, the mountains, the nature...

- No, you're skipping something. Something big.

- It's nothing. Let's look at the schedule again.

She turns off her tablet, and stares at me.

- Talk to me.
