Nick rubbed his eyes as he filled his mug with coffee, last night after dinner with Vanessa he more or less bolted out of her apartment, it was a cowardly prissy thing to do but there was nothing else that he could do, what was he supposed to say 'yes'? But that wasn't what he wanted right? He was curious about Vanessa, was curious about why she was working as a made woman but other than that he hardly felt anything for her right? The throb in his chest told him that he was pathetically wrong. This was the reason he couldn't say 'no' as well because saying 'no' sounded too much of a lie and he wasn't someone who would be willing to lie to anyone, in the end, he chose to say goodbye and walk away and now he was back in his office, sleepy and tired because he couldn't sleep a wink last night after what happened at Vanessa's apartment.
