The Old Guard - Nile, Nicky/Joe
Immortals were infuriating. “I get why you don’t ‘do’ birthdays, but how can you not remember yours?!”
Joe shrugged. “I can give you a year?”
Nicky was using the gentle voice that meant he was trying to shield her from the harsh realities of her new life. Awesome. “Even if we remembered, it wouldn’t be accurate, cara. The calendar changed a few times.”
She’d got her brother a PS4 for his last birthday. It’d been used but she remembered how his face had lit up. Throat tightening, she cursed under her breath. She’d just wanted to keep some shit normal.
