[Nick already spends most of the day with him, anyway. And drinking alone is still sad, whether or not Monroe's getting drunk.

Yeah, Nick knows that really well.]

I did. I don't know, she's - not as okay with it, any more. That night, at the Lowen Games? That was our anniversary, and I pretty much missed it. I made a choice, and it's one I'll have to make again. And I'm almost always going to make the same decision. The fact that I have to hide everything from her isn't helping at all.

[Or they could just be done talking about this. Nick's really good with not talking about how his relationship might be unsalvageable. Particularly not while there's nothing he can do about it. Don't worry, it'll go back to Monroe soon enough.

Yeah, that was pretty much Nick's plan. Then maybe he can get him to continue.]

That's a start. But I got your meds, for when you're back to being you again.

[There's zero chance that Nick's going to drop it. Especially with a comment like that. Nick raises an eyebrow.]

'Belong to you,' is that how we're defining this relationship now?
