"I count the minutes until I see you." The words are greeted with silence, and he wonders if it's too little too late.

Nick stops in the doorway and turns his head, a mixture of hope and disbelief in his eyes. Hope wins out.

"Nick..." he begins helplessly, and Nick smiles at him crookedly, almost painfully sweet.

"I know. No time."

"Later," he promises, and finds he means it. "I'll make the time."
