Committed to Stone now, isn’t he?

Out into the night rain we go!

To saving her life if he can, yes. The smarter thing for Nick to do would have been to walk away from the whole mess once he realized how deep the quicksand was. But he isn’t thinking very clearly tonight, probably a result of having had at least eight ounces of whiskey over the last four hours.

Quick and exciting stuff. I do like the decisive nature of your character here. He’s a bit on the reckless side, but he’s getting something done. Also love how the action sort of throws him forward into being in league with Maryanne without time to consider more angles.
