Plotting Against James Crawford

James spoke longer than Nikun ever imagined. Then James retired to his room. Nikun paid for the expensive dinner and left the hotel. He saw a different car coming to the door instead of his. Identifying it as Aaron's car, he got into the shotgun seat, very sure Aarvi was in the car too.

He grumpily sat inside and the car left the hotel. Turning behind, he squinted his eyes at Aarvi who was waving her hand at him. He glanced at Aaron who ignored him completely. He knew how to get Aaron's attention.

He reached out and pulled Aarvi's cheek. Aarvi wasn't expecting that so she didn't evade his touch and whined at the little stinging pain. "Brother Nick!!" 

Aaron glared daggers at his friend, snapping his hand away. Pulling his wife closer to him, he caressed her cheek. "Lawyers could be handicapped." He meant he would break his hand.

Aarvi and Nikun: "..."
