I turned away from the woman and went back into the living room. It wasn't worth a fight. It wasn't worth Nikki getting in a fight. We just needed some distance between us.
After maybe ten minutes, Nikki cleared her throat. I looked over at her, taking a second to glance at Abigail over her shoulder before giving her my complete attention. "Mikko wants to talk to you upstairs." Her smile was weak, but I never expected a smile to be on her face, not when she was as mad as I knew she was. "Upstairs where? I've never been here before." I wanted to stay here, with the fire, but I knew that wouldn't last very long. "Finn's office is the set of double doors at the top of the stairs," she said with a frown. "I'm not allowed to go up there with you."
