Niko

When I saw her from across the ice, it was want at first sight. When I looked into her eyes it was need at second sight, and when I brushed my hand against hers, I knew I was hers forever. The look in her eyes told me she was living in her own personal hell and she didn’t trust anyone. I wanted to be the man to change that. I wanted her trust, I wanted her smiles, and I wanted her love, but most of all I wanted her to feel loved, feel strong, feel protected. She’s never had it and I was going to be the man who gave it to her.

Lettie I didn’t know what to expect when I signed my brother up with the Mini Miners program. I just wanted to give him a little bit of peace and happiness. I certainly didn’t expect to be mesmerized by deep blue eyes watching me from across the ice. I didn’t expect to relax ever so slightly when he smiled, I didn’t expect to find trust in those eyes and I certainly didn’t expect the peace and safety that came from being in his arms. Despite the hell my brother and I were living in, I found strength with him at my side, we’d found family. I just needed to figure out how to keep them.
