“Ready to face the enemy?”
Nick barked out a laugh which suddenly quelled his nervousness completely.
He smiled at Tori as he led her into the room. “As ready as I’m ever going to be. How is he?”
“Oh, you mean my cool, sassy, always-on-top-of-everything younger brother? Yeah, he’s freaking out. But he’s happy,” she added with an approving nod at Nick.

Nick looked at her with tears in his eyes. “He’s making me happy. Every single second.”
“Well then,” Tori said, matter of factly, trying to blink away the tears that welled up in her eyes. “Let’s get you out there so you can start the first day of the rest of your life.”
