It was a week later that Nicole was released from the hospital with guards for her and Elijah's safety. She was healed enough, and she was released to Elijah's apartment, which Thomas and Noah approved of as safe enough. With guards, however. Elijah was understanding, if not a little annoyed.
However, it was hard to be annoyed for long in the face of Nicole's overwhelming positivity and happiness that she was able to live with her fiancé and move forward with their lives. Even the skeptical Elijah couldn't hold a candle of doubt in the face of that. It was actually quite amazing to see how good of a match they were for each other.
Andrew was happy for her.
