When Evie had been accepted, Nick hadn't even been out of the institution and she had wanted to pick somewhere far away from Marissa without being close to Jack. She had barely thought about what next year would mean since then, but she would stay in an instant if he wanted her to and she hoped that he knew it, although she wasn't going to voice it here because she had no doubt that Jack would act like a grown-up about it and tell her to focus on her own future. Or something. She hugged Nick around the shoulders quickly. "But you have to take me," she complained. "There are like, zero crocodiles in New York City." She very nearly had said pirates, but a quick look at Jack told her that this was a bad time and Nicky probably wanted to at least make it out of the building before they brought up the full moon.
