Nick G & Cassie
Cassie made a face at that. "Hopefully still the coolest chick you know," she countered, recovering from the knee-jerk reaction of not wanting to be an adult. "And obviously a total badass." As far as she was concerned, she'd be exactly the same as she was now, just older.
"Sort of." That came out before she'd really thought it through. "I just wanted to know if I should run for cover. She's got a tendency toward condescension and I'd kind of rather avoid that bullshit altogether." Cassie was honestly tired of it, but definitely a touch defensive in her tone. Resigned to the fact that this was going to be their life for however long Nick was dating her.
