"I know you're afraid, but we can't hide in this closet forever."
"Ha. I'm not afraid," Sabrina says, shaking her head defiantly.
"You know it's okay to admit you're afraid, right?" Nick asks her, rubbing her arm gently. "Being afraid doesn't make you any less powerful. If anything it makes you more human."
Sabrina ponders his words and sighs. "Alright, so maybe I am... a little bit... afraid," she admits, avoiding eye contact. "But I've dealt with the worst of the worst in supernatural terms..."
"And? How does that fit in here?"
"It's just... how can I be afraid of something so mundane when I've dealt with literal almost death and the worst creatures ever? It makes no sense."
"It's because you're part human, Sabrina," Nick tells her, turning his head to look at her in what little light was coming through the crack in the door. "But that's what makes you... you. You're the best of both worlds."
"That's such a cliché thing to say." Sabrina smiles. leaning her head against his shoulder. "But I know you mean it, and coming from you... it means everything to me."
"I'm happy to hear that," Nick says, smiling himself. "Now are you ready to leave this closet?"
Sabrina sighs. "I guess now is better than never."
"Just act surprised," Nick tells her, standing up and offering her his hand.
Sabrina frowns. "Hard to even act surprised... considering I hate surprise parties."
