What I Was Thinking When Tom Invited Me To Tea

Okay... so, I haven't seen my cousin for a while and all of the sudden, he is inviting me over for tea. Why?  I love Nick.  I do.  But why is he asking me to come over for tea.  Isn't this kind of strange? I'm starting to think he has a "thing" for me.  Ew!  And why did he ask me to come alone?  Why can't I bring Tom?  I'm actually kind of scared.  Should I go?  What if he has a plan to kill me or something? Why am I thinking of all negative things?  Maybe it's something good.  Maybe he just wants to spend time with his cousin that he hasn't seen in a while.  Maybe he wants to "catch up."  I am curious of what has been going on in Chicago.  But if he just wants to talk, why can't I bring Tom?  I'm so confused.  The fact that he wanted me to come alone is what concerns me the most.  It doesn't make sense.
