Chapter Two Hundred And Thirty-seven: That face

Niklaus' point of view 

"How are you managing so far?"

My eyes met her orbs probing into mine and searching for answers. Discovering that question had taken me aback and made me vulnerable, I quickly bottled up my emotions. 

"Of course, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" I answered with a fake smile.

She breathed, "I just thought that with all that happened, returning to that place might bring back the painful memories, "

"Don't worry Jennifer, It's been seven years already," I gave her an assuring smile, "I sure can handle anything that comes my way, "

"Well, if you say so," she didn't press further. 

If there was another thing I loved about Jennifer, it was that she knew me too well. Being with me over the years: she knew my likes and dislikes, my do's and don't, and when to stop in an argument with me.  Most things might change over the years but not my stubbornness.
