SPOILERS
Ahh...well, I've been waiting for this - or something like this - Jeremy and Ellery and Colson are a pretty tight trio and I'm not surprised that Nick feels like the odd man out. And it doesn't help matters that he's the baby of the bunch, just starting college while the rest of them are well-settled into careers. And it also doesn't help that one part of that trio is his former hard-nosed employer. And it also doesn't help that he's still feeling insecure about Jeremy's sexuality (and their relationship in general); it wasn't that long ago that Jeremy had his "date" with the older, taller, and to Nick's eyes, sophisticated, assistant district attorney of Greenlea County. And it also doesn't help that they haven't yet done any socializing with Jeremy and his best friends - aside from Ellery and Colson's reception - and even then Nicky was serving drinks and helping out.
But, Jeremy's a smart guy and he knows that his cocky man is really an insecure boy. Maybe it would help matters if Nick could help the girls settle into university life.....
Great dialogue, as always, Louise -
Thanks,
