“You sound so sure,” Niki replied softly, once again amazed at how Peter allowed his optimism to pour out even though everything seemed lost for them. Niki was always thinking the worse, always wondering if something was going to turn out wrong while Peter assured her that everything was fine. That Micah was fine. While it didn’t seem like something anyone would believe she found herself trusting Peter’s words once again. They were enough to calm the thoughts swirling around in her head.
“I just hope you’re right. I would hate to see you wrong.” Niki smiled weakly, having a feeling that Peter would probably take it harder than she would if things turned out differently than what was stated. It was either everything was fine or everything wasn’t fine and Niki didn’t want Peter to feel disappointed or feel like he was simply providing false hope.
