'You mean to tell me... that you went behind my back and went to Peterson?' Nick looked furious.
'Please, Nick, keep your voice down!' I said. I'd put Will to bed, and then Nick had demanded an explanation from me. He didn't like my story about lying to him.
He glowered at me. 'I can't believe this. You fucking lied to me.'

'Nick-'
'No. Don't talk to me. I can't stand the sight of you right now.'
