nikolas vaisey doesn't need a broom to fly (besserwisser) wrote in wished,
For some reason, the news that Daphne actually had told her parents about what had happened didn't make Nikolas feel worried. Maybe he'd done enough worrying over it for the week, and just couldn't be bothered anymore. In the back of his mind, he'd even sort of hoped she had - then maybe this would be called off. All the better for either of them.
But he remembered that she'd felt certain that they would only blame her, and, judging by her next words, Nikolas realized that this marriage was very much still on.
"Oh," he said simply, his hands moving to his pockets. A brief look of disappointment flickered across his face, but it was quickly gone when he rolled his eyes at what she'd said. "Seriously, Daphne? Can you not start in with that again?" He glowered at her.
"If I didn't like you as much as you seem to think, and really wanted nothing to do with you, we wouldn't be having this conversation. We wouldn't have had any of the conversations we've had over the past few months, believe me."
