~Evric's POV~
"What are you going to do about Nicki?" Zayn asked, his voice barely a breath against my chest.
I sighed softly, kissing the top of his head. "Babe, I seriously don't know the specifics. Evans has chosen to handle the punishment."
"Babe?" he prompted.
"Yes?"
"What do you think Evans will do?"
I thought about my brother's cold, calculating rage when someone threatens family. "Evans won't take this lightly. He knows Nicki is a threat to you and our relationship. He might tell the police to lock Nicki up indefinitely—no bail for him—until Evans himself gives the order to unlock him."
"Okay, baby," Zayn replied, his breathing evening out. Then he shifted. "Babe?"
"Yes, baby."
"I want to sleep, but I'm also really hungry. Are we going home now so I can eat and sleep, or should I sleep now?"
I pulled him closer. "You should sleep, love. We're passing the night here. He and I need to discuss something, and we should do it today."
