I was sitting in my office sorting a few files when my phone started ringing, "Hello?" I asked. ,, Um yes hello ... This is Nick. ... "Answered a too familiar voice. immediately all the memories came up. We were together once, together with Karl ... well that was before they just ran off to build their own country. They just left me here. Those weren't good memories for me. Back then I would almost have become depressed if Wilbur hadn't helped me. "What do you want?" I asked without emotion. ,, Com down big Q. I wanted to ask if I can come and visit you for a few days. Karl is currently on business and I'm bored. " he explained. I am speechless, after everything that has happened he just wants to make friends again. ,, I'm sorry, but what happened back then I couldn't deal with so easily. To be honest, I didn't want to have any more contact with you. " Ok that was maybe a bit too honest now I hope I didn't hurt him so much. Although, as much as they hurt me, I couldn't hurt them anyway. I was really devastated then. They just ran away and left me behind. Apparently I wasn't for her. I would probably have gotten more excited about her and found 10,000 reasons never to want to see her again. ,, I don't expect you to forgive us either. We must have hurt you very much. Believe me, we didn't want that. But maybe this could be a start. " We were silent. Until I broke the silence. Why do you want to go to Las Nevadas, there are other countries. " I clarified. Because to be honest, I don't want him to come here. Who knows what he's up to ...

"Yes, yes ... But it's kind of boring there, I've been almost everywhere except in L'manberg. Wilbur didn't want to let me in. " Of course Wilbur didn't want to. Wilbur hated Nick and Karl, we've been friends for 3 years now. Back then, he helped me rebuild myself when I was devastated. After that we became good friends. It's been a few weeks since we last saw each other. He had told me he had to do some private things.
,,So?" Nick pulled me out of my thoughts.
I sighed in frustration, "All right, but only for a week." Hopefully Wilbur won't come on those days. But he should actually be on the road. ,, Yeah cool, I'm happy. I'll be there tomorrow around 2 p.m. Then where can I sleep? " I rubbed my eyes, either in my apartment on the couch or in one of the hotels where you prefer. " Nick considered, "Well then I'll sleep in your apartment" Was it the right thing? If Wilbur gets wind of this then Nick is dead. Will could be very possessive at times. It'll be fine. We clarified a few things until everything was actually settled.
"Well then, see you tomorrow big Q." ,, Yes until tomorrow." with these words I hung up. Was it right to allow him that? On the one hand, I was happy to see Nick again, on the other hand ... I was very sorry for you. I quickly shook off the thoughts, if I think about it too long all the memories come up and devour me. I looked at the ring on my hand. Should I take it off to show him that I was over them both. Wilbur had asked me several times to remove the ring, but I really didn't want to. The ringing of the wall clock tore me out of my thoughts and reminded me that I still had a lot of work to do.
