The Great Escape

[Backo]

What did Sam mean by 'Nick not being much older' than her? There was no way he's as young as her and having Samantha as a child.

The Maltese girl's face narrowed, did she really look that worn out lately? Getting used to being in the Core was tough but there wasn't a way it'll have taken such a big tow on her. "Heeey! I'm nowhere as old to be your mother! " she protested hastily. "Oh, and aren't we there yet? Are we in Stuttgart yet even?" she quickly changed the subject as she turned her attention to the stars outside that her hostess was observing contently. And to think cardamine was supposed to make her look younger. Bummer.
