faye_dartmouthTitle: Promises
Disclaimer: I do not own Primeval.
A/N: The prompt was to the ends of the earth. My take is actually not Stephen/Nick for once! Rather, this is pre-series Nick/Helen.
Summary: “I’ll go anywhere with you. Anywhere at all.”
“Marry me,” Nick said.
Helen was young and in love, but she wasn’t stupid. “No.”
“Oh, come on,” he cajoled. “It’ll be fun.”
“I want a career,” she said.
“I want you to have a career.”
She eyed him skeptically. “You say that now…”
“We’ll have careers together,” he enthused.
“But expeditions…”
“We’ll go together!”
She was dubious.
“To the ends of the earth,” he promised. He was earnest now. “I’ll go anywhere with you. Anywhere at all.”
But in the following years, Helen went and Nick didn’t follow. She broke promises, but, to her, Nick broke that one first.
