Chapter 3
Nick arrived at the loft just before sunrise, even though he left work at about 2am, he'd been out driving around Toronto for almost fours hours.
Just thinking about Natalie and LaCroix, hoping he could talk LaCroix out of the bargain, Nick went to check his messages on his machine, finding only one message from LaCroix. "Nicholas, I'd like for you to come to The Raven before your shift tomorrow night, there's something we need to discuss."
Nick just stared at the machine, he couldn't tell by the sound of LaCroix's voice if it was good or bad.
But knowing LaCroix the way he does, it was probably to ridicule him about his quest for mortality and to try to get him to leave Nat behind, which Nick knew now was not an option anymore.
He knew he couldn't leave Nat behind when he moved on, he loved her too much and especially with what happened between them that night.
He went to the kitchen to get a glass of bloodwine and then went upstairs to try to get some sleep, but sleep would not come easy for him when he was filled with worry for the woman he loved.
He didn't even love Janette like the way he loved Nat. But then again, Janette was a vampire and he didn't have to worry about hurting or killing or bringing her across like he'd have to do with Nat.
Sunset was at 4:30pm and his shift didn't start till 6pm.
So, that should give him enough time to find out what LaCroix wanted. For now, he'll just have to sleep on it.
