Aria left Nick's office again.
Nick only looked at the sheet of paper on the table.
He was trying to focus on reading the paper, but he kept rereading the same line again and again.
It was like he couldn't remember the sentence he had just read.
He felt like he was in a dream, but he also felt like he had just woken up from a long dream.
Aria had told Nick about how the relationship had been for her for almost ten minutes.
She said that she wanted to help Nick.
But she couldn't.
She tried and tried, but no matter what she did, she didn't have the power to help him.
And she believed the reason was that he didn't want to help himself.
She also said that a relationship was supposed to improve the lives of both partners.
Yet, Nick had only made Aria's days worse.
