Ghost of Time

[Nika Raskov]

Nika’s grin matched Liv’s.  The flush prompted a giggle and a shake of her head.  Who knew what had just popped into the other’s mind.  She dropped her dark eyes to what remained of her delectable dessert in order to give Liv time to compose herself.  They hadn’t even had a hot and heavy make-out session so anything beyond that wasn’t on her radar at all.  She finished her last bite as the bear comment snapped her eyes up sharply.  She wasn’t sure she’d heard correctly.  

A concerned “What?” escaped before turning to a snort of laughter.  “There’ll be plenty of room in the back for all your friends.”  Her watch buzzed a notification.  “Would you like a ride home tonight or are you taking the Metro?”
