Nicole's Lament

Six years before the events of Breaking Emma,

Nicole Sinclair was dragged into a

California night club for a girls' night that

would lead her down an unexpected road.

Meanwhile, Derek Villarosa is at

the right place, at the right time

when he decides to order the

hot, sweaty mess sitting at the bar a drink.

One decision later,

Derek and Nicole's lives are cemented together

in a way neither of them saw coming.

While Nicole's world has changed forever,

Derek tries to hold on to the remaining shreds of their future.

What once was, could still be again

if she can let him back in.
