"You should take that up with my therapist, Evie," an stilted attempt at a joke as Nick gave her a little grin. He gently nudged her shoulder with his, "Stay home one day at least. Don't leave me alone with Marissa all day. I don't think she's going to be happy to see me."
He wasn't going to say how he didn't want to think of being alone with either Jack or Marissa without some sort of buffer. Unfortunately Evie was going to have to be that buffer.
