i really don’t think nic lead cierra on🤷♀️🤷♀️ that man was very intentional with his words. and she was the one that twisted them. for instance when she was lying to the girls about what was said during the picnic date.
i think he definitely did. he only really liked her and showed it when he was abt to lose her, like with elan. he had every opportunity to tell her he didn’t feel the same, but he didn’t. he led her on lol
