"You...You really think it's good for Richard and Nicholas to talk to each other?" Kit asked as Nicole tilted her head.
"Why wouldn't it be?"
"Nicole, he basically ruined Nicholas's life...I really don't know if the two of them talking isn't going to end in bloodshed for at least one of them." Desire spoke out, as Kit shook her head and added.
"I don't think Nicholas would kill Richard, even despite everything Richard's done Nicholas is still a good guy."
"Really?..cause if I met the man who say killed Vincent, I really don't think I would meet him without swinging an ax." Desire stated, as Nicole shook her head and added.
"Richard and Nicholas they were like BROTHERS growing up girls...come on, I know ..they have a lot of things to talk about- a lot of things to work through, but you really don't think they should ever talk again?"
"I don't know ...honestly I mean what Richard did was pretty low...it's not we can exactly blame Nicholas for feeling however way he'd feel..." Desire stated.
"Yeah, but he told me he forgave Richard and me for what happened," Nicole said.
"When did he say this?" Kit asked.
"When we were talking during the Christmas party...I told him what I thought was the truth about Richard and his suicide, and he gave me a hug and told me he forgave both of us, Richard for what Richard did and me for believing he was driving under the influence that night and killed his family." Nicole stated.
"I hate to say it, but Nicholas could have just been saying that because he thought Richard was dead." Desire stated, as Kit shook her head and added.
"I agree... but I still don't think they shouldn't ever speak again."
"So you're on the team have them talk?" Desire asked, as Kit shook her head and added.
"...I think it would be good for the both of them, Nicholas lost everything thanks to this guy and Richard lost a lot, thanks to what he did... if you're worried about how they'll react to each other, we can always be there to keep it level headed...all three of us are basically neutral third parties." And with this Desire shook her head, as Nicole sighed and nodded.
"...Okay, so we're going to have them both meet but we're going to be there to make sure it doesn't get crazy?"
