Nick took the opportunity to apologize for handling things badly and for hurting Frances’ feelings. The two was in a better place after the talk.
Time with Nick
Time passed and the whole group eventually got to go out again. This time, Frances received a call from her dad, wanting to talk about older times where they went to France. However, Frances told him she was busy. Nick was perceptive and noticed something wrong and so, Frances confided in him about her dad’s alcoholism and her dependency on him for college money. Nick listened and gave her a different perspective from her father’s side. At night, Bobbi made plans with Frances to go hiking the next day.
However, the next day, Frances changed her mind. She saw Nick hanging out alone and decided to stay back to write instead. Bobbi was disappointed that her friend bailed on her, but was supportive of Frances wanting to write. Unfortunately, when Frances went back to Nick’s spot, he was no longer there and therefore, she sat down there alone trying to write, but nothing came to her. One night, while the whole group was caroling, Nick and Frances started feeling a connection for each other again and kept stealing glances. Bobbi noticed this and teased Nick about it during a game where Nick might have to kiss Frances if he got things wrong.
Late that night, Frances texted Nick and the two began flirting again. Frances then invited Nick to come over to her room and the two slept together again.
