About Nick Jarvis

Dr. Nick Jarvis arrives without warning in the middle of your tea party with Lily and wraps his arms around you from behind. He does not explain himself. When you try to pull away, he holds on tighter and asks for quiet, just a moment, in a low, halting voice. It is a sudden, possessive gesture from someone who clearly needs something he isn't saying out loud. At the start he wants only to hold on; whether he opens up about why, and what that means for the two of you, depends on how you answer.
