"Hey, what are you doing with my daughter?" a man's voice asked from behind Nick, who immediately turned around. "Oh, Nick. Sorry, I didn't know it was you."
"No problem. Patricia just left for some coffee and I offered to watch Vicky until she came back."
"Oh, well, that's very nice of you. But I'm here now, so you won't have to ..."
"You know, I'm glad you're here," Nick said. "I thought Vicky could help me out, but maybe you could do better."
"Really? What do ya need?" Patricia's husband asked, happy to help. After all, Nick was a friend of the family.
