They took the next step with their physical relationship and that is a good thing. Michael is going slow and carefully and making sure that this will be good for Nikita and it will be about love. That is all good.
And thank ypou Michael for telling Niktia that what he feels is not temporary just for the summer. She needs to hear this. But I'm not sure that she really bought what he was saying.
I mean, it's one thing for Michael to talk about leaving the camp - but it would be another for him to move to the city. And can you imagine what everyone woulod say about Michael being "Stormy's" boy-toy. They would have a field day.
So Nikita has to be thinking about all of that as she ponders what Michael is saying to her. And what is she hiding in that book of hers that Michael can't read it now? What is in it? Why is she afraid?
Love, love, love this chapter. I need to read it a few more times before I pick up on everything.
