Connor looked at Cutter and then to Stephen and was about to say something when Stephen interrupted.

"You two were together... in some way" Stephen said simply giving Cutter a small knowing look. "Am I close?"

"How... how did you..." Connor started as he stared at Stephen in surprise.

"You called him Nick several times already" Stephen said with a grin ad a nod towards him. "Not many people call him that... In fact, as far as I know, only two of us did. So... that was a pretty good indication something was different this time around."
