Chapter 49: Unbelievable

Nicklaus peeked out the window from his room for the umpteenth time;

They weren't back yet? Didn't she say she was getting her passport; did she go to bring her whole house?

He shifted his gaze to the phone in his hands, contemplating whether to call them, but just when he was about to call, he saw their car driving towards the house and he closed the curtains.

Tiana stepped out of the car and walked into the house; her eyes glanced briefly at the stairs but she figured she should just sleep; it was already late, she shouldn't disturb him.

Nicklaus walked to his fridge and took out a bottle of sleeping pills; ever since his parents died, he hasn't slept without them. And even after taking them and falling asleep, it was never peaceful. He didn't even remember what a peaceful sleep felt like.
