Nicholas grinned, shaking Will's hand back. "Thank you! I'm quite partial to it myself," he laughed.
"Nicholas is family," Clio beamed up at him. She reached up and held his face for a moment, like the precious thing it was, then she slid back into her booth.
"Only because she decided I was worth saving," Nicholas said with feeling. After what Lust had done to him, Clio had dragged him out of his depression because she was too stubborn to let him wallow. God he was thankful.
"When's the baby due, it has to be any day now," Clio said, then she explained, "he and his partners already have a little boy, Bastian, and now they're having a girl I get to spoil."
"She's due next Wednesday," Nicholas said, clearly excited. "So any time. I keep checking my phone. Which of course means Joey thinks it's funny to send me memes constantly so I think it's baby time and it's some fucking stupid shitpost."
Clio glanced over at Stutely, wondering if he knew what memes were, since he had been reticent to use emojis.
