        Nicholas had watched them for a while before his approach. He'd been curious what they were doing here and wanted to see for himself.

Because if you are...” Nicholas' features melted into a charming grin. “You're probably right.” His look played at being coy but couldn't hide the devilishness of his charm. “Still. We're all allowed our secrets. How about you? Just what trouble have you been getting up to lately?”
