Jessica Night and Pepperwood are never going to get together. She’d gotten herself to buy it after a lot of debate, and it was like Nick had said. Nick was a no-conversation topic for them, and it was starting to feel alright.Īs for Nick, he had stopped calling after the first couple of months and nearly four months after she had left, Nick had published the sequel to The Pepperwood Chronicles. Worried at first, they’d relented and had stopped talking to her about him. While the others had tried to fill her in, she had told them she didn’t want to know. But Nick… she hadn’t kept up with him after she had left. Every once in a while, Winston or Aly would ring her up in latest news, Aly was pregnant. She was Ruth’s godmother and she knew Nick was her godfather.

It was great to watch it unfold.Īfter she had come to Portland, she was still in touch with Cece and Schmidt. He had accomplished everything he had ever dreamed of, and never thought himself capable of. She could see glimpses of Nick’s writing in it, and she felt a pang every time of course, but she was also proud. Watching it left a bittersweet taste in her mouth, and it was the only connection she really had with Nick anymore it was quite strange actually, because that very connection she had run away from three years ago and here she was, three years later, exhausted out of her mind, as she tried desperately to hold on to whatever she had left of it.īoy, am I pathetic, she thought ruefully.

It had been a long day at school and she wanted to sleep, but over the last two years, she had never missed a single episode of Julius Pepperwood she had already missed the first two minutes of the episode.
