Nick here can spin all the sweet lies he likes, but let me say at least that I was the one who did the giving up."Ellie chuckled lightly at his antics. "for someone who has given up on her you sure do seem to do a lot for her benefit." She pointed out not convinced. She smiled at him regardless though as she found him amusing in the very least.

"Spoilsport!" Nick called back. Looking to Ellie, he splayed his hands out in front of him as he cleared his throat. "Sorry about that. She gets a little moody sometimes."
