I wasn’t around Damon as much as Angie back in the day, but I always thought he was sweet, and it was obvious even to me that he was crazy about Nicky. So I said, “Yeah, I always thought there was more there than friendship, too.”
“No! We’re just friends! Me and Damon are not going down that road again.”
“What road?” Angie asked. Then she sat up straight and shrieked, “You and Damon—”
Nicky downed her wine in one gulp and shook her head. “I don’t wanna talk about this.” Her voice sounded shaky, like whatever had happened was deeper than she was willing to let on.
Angie and I looked at each other as Nicky stood from the table and excused herself to the bathroom.
“You remember where I showed you it was?” I asked her retreating back.
“No, but I’ll find it.”
Once she was gone, I asked, “What was that?”
Angie shook her head. “I don’t know. Looks like something went down between them that’s got her shook. Never seen her like that before. She looked like she was really upset.”
“Right.”
A few seconds later, Nicky returned with slightly puffy eyes, as if she’d been crying, and me and Angie dropped the subject of Damon altogether.
