If You and Nick passed each other on the street, you would pretend like you didn’t know each other. And there was more than one example of that.

Nick did things by the book- sure, he was a little more edgy for a politician with the way he spoke and his confidence, but by the book nonetheless. You and he had the same values, of course, but…while Nick went about it the traditional way, climbing the political ladder you went about it a much…different way.

You’d been called a punk more times than you could count, among other not so nice names. You protested, you weren’t afraid to stand up to people, you were, in a lot of senses of the word- a punk.

But that didn’t stop Nick from still showing up to your door late at night in secret.
