Ladon Party: Victoria and Nick
Nick's smile only grew. Her contempt was petty, but it felt a nice change from what he was used to dealing with around the others. Nick knew Sorin's reasons and they didn't align with what Victoria assumed about him. Her assumptions also didn't align with Bayani's reasons for kissing him back and ending his relationship, his entrapment with Victoria, but that wasn't Nick's concern.
"Cruel little boys, are we?" Nick laughed. He continued to goad. "Spoken like a spoiled little girl. He was never going to love you. He was just confused and thought he had to make a choice or lose you as a friend. His first friend outside his family. It's a shame he wasted that move on you. Clearly you didn't appreciate it enough. The moment it wasn't about you anymore, you turned on him."
