She’d already had the bruise on her left cheek. Now she had another on the right side of her face along with a short line of stitches near her temple. Nick’s heart contracted with regret that she’d been hurt—because of him. “I’m sorry,” he murmured as she stepped inside the condo. Her brown eyes twinkled. “Sorry? You’re the first one to make sure I’m included in a Payne Protection meeting.” Nick was sympathetic. He knew what it was like to be on the outside looking in on a family. He had felt like that with the Huxtons. He’d understood he wasn’t one of them, but at least Gage and Annalise had tried to include him. Nikki had known she was a Payne, but her brothers had never included her like they should have. Until now... Everyone else fell silent as she walked into the condo. They were probably staring at the bruises. Nikki tensed as if she thought they were going to throw her out.
