I think you mentioned that once. Or maybe it was Max. I'm not sure. Either way, our worlds aren't too different, it seems.

I work for a different bar, so I don't know if I should be seen around the competition. [ a slight quirk of his lips. ] But I wouldn't mind meeting him.

[ a pause then and he gets it. it seems alec gets him and it's a good feeling that makes nico feel like he's not so alone. ]

Kinda sucks, doesn't it? I hope you're right that there's someone out there for me. But I guess we'll see.
