"We probably need to get back, the people might start to wonder where we are?"
You watch as Nick slowly pulls away from you and take one step back. All of a sudden you wonder if you should've said anything and if you should've just kept quiet while enjoying the warmth of his embrace.
"You're right, we should get back. Are you going to be okay now?"
"Yes, I think so, I just need to get back to my patients, you know?"
(Idiot!!)
"Of course, I understand"
NICK'S POINT OF VIEW
He understands that you just need your space right now and everything you just went through can easily make you crazy. He wants to give you, your space but at the same time, he just wants to be close to you and protect you. He wants so badly to be the man in your life and he wants you to only want him. He's very aware of the fact that you have a boyfriend but he's also very sure that he wants to break things off with Helena as soon as he gets back.
