All warm and cuddled up in Nika’s arms is your favourite way to spend the night, or any time for that matter.

Currently, it’s what you two are doing on a cold winter night in your dorm which you were so lucky to have been put together as dorm mates.

It’s the night before you two leave for winter break and spend Christmas in Croatia with her family.

She holds you as a way to assure you that you have nothing to worry about. And you really don’t.

“Baby, they’ll love you. Anything I love, they must too, because they said they want me to be happy in America, make it like home. And I feel happy and at home when I’m with you,” Nika confesses. Her arms are wrapped around your chest as you lay your back against her and lie between her legs.

You look up at her just as she tilts her head down to look at you as she continues. “And if you’re worried about my grandma, baka only speaks Croatian. Besides, she never knows what she’s talking about half the time.”
