Nevada had finally put Lucy to sleep. It seemed like she had been crying all day long. The headache she had from the crying made her head feel as if it was about to burst. Mikey was napping as well. O this feeling was heavenly, she thought as she slowly laid down on the couch for a few moments rest.

Wraith knocked on the door so softly that it was a toss-up whether anyone would hear or not. She'd knocked on this door quite a few times now, but it still scared her every time. Mostly because she was always afraid Nevada would answer.

Nevada groaned as she heard the knocking. Who the hell could that be? She thought. She slowly got up and opened the door. Her stomach turning as she saw it was Wraith.
"Need another favor from my husband?" She asked, crosssing her arms.

...and this time, her fear was justified.
"N-no," Wraith assured her with a nervous smile. "I really was looking for Kennedy this time." Sometimes she thought it really would be easier to tell Nevada about her and Kennedy. And then she remembered the kinds of things that could happen to girls like them, and dismissed the idea.

Nevada shrugged slightly, in a 'couldn't really be bothered sort of manner'. "Haven't seen her all day." She said looking around, "Is there anything else you need? Would you like to wait for her?"

"Sure," she squeaked out, even though she might just as easily have said no; random answers came out of her mouth when she was nervous. She slipped inside, hovering by the door. "The, uh...the house looks nice..."

Nevada looked around the apartment and shrugged, "As nice as two teenagers can manage," She said, looking towards the couch, "Have a seat," she said. She was almost asleep on that couch earlier and now it looked like she would have to entertain her until Kennedy came home.

She sat down and noted that Nevada wasn't happy to see her, which certainly wasn't new or surprising. Wraith couldn't even blame her. "You can just go back to whatever you were doing," she said quickly. "I'll be fine." She looked around, wondering where Tristan and the kids were.

"I was napping on the couch you're sitting on," She said, sitting in a chair across from Wraith. "It was the only moment of peace I've had all day. Lucy was crying all day and Mikey was running around. I finally got them to nap."

"Oh!" She hopped up from the couch. "You can have it back! Really, I'll, uh...I can go..." She edged toward the door. "I didn't mean to disturb you." And I'm not just talking about this particular occasion.

Nevada waved her hand in the air, "Sit back down, it'll be impossible for me to fall asleep now." She said, crossing her arms over her chest again. Nevada couldn't help but wonder if she really wanted to see Kennedy or if she was waiitng for Tristan, like she was last time. "You sure it's Kennedy you want and not my husband like last time?"

"It's Kennedy, I swear," she said, sitting down on command. "We really are friends." She stared at the carpet. "I'm sorry about everything with Tristan. It's just...he helped me out the night we met, and he was the only guy I knew who I thought I could trust to ask for help. I didn't know he had a family or anything...it won't happen again," she promised, wondering if Nevada knew about the second time it happened--or the third time, which was just the other night.

Nevada narrowed her eyes at her, "You don't just ask him for help Wraith, you ask him to lay his neck out for you." Nevada corrected, "He could get murdered or thrown in jail because of YOU." She said, grinding her teeth.

"I know," she said in a small voice. But groveling clearly wasn't going to get her anywhere, so she looked up from the carpet with an effort. "But I've got people to look out for too, and there wasn't anyone else. There's not really anyone in Manhattan who you can go to about...things like that. I get why you're mad, but I did what I thought I had to. And I won't do it again, really. Ever." She tried to think of anything else she could say to smooth this over. "Uh...if it helps, I owe you guys several life-risking favors, if you ever need any."

"Asking Tristan to help you was selfish." Nevada said pursing her lips. "It didn't help any that Tristan wouldn't tell me, that I'd have to practically wring it out of him." She said, groaning. She knew she was being mean but she also had to protect herself, her children, her husband. "You swear......you swear on your life you aren't going to be asking Tristan for any more favors?"
