Helen watches him again. They do know each other, far too well at some points. They can fill in each other's thoughts and sentences by now, can even predict how the other will react to things and events. She knew he would react like this; he knows what she really means and can see through her actions and words. No one else is allowed to know her the way Nikola does. No one else can understand her the way he does.

"All of which might just be gifts, things I knew you would appreciate when no one else would." Appreciate and understand, that's for sure. "I know how you like that which is hard to find."

Hard to find, hard to follow, hard to figure out and yet provides a very, very nice reward. In this case, the scavenger hunt had led to her, living, safe, and sound. Her life, this time, rather than her death.

"I told them all." That she's alive, she means. So, she also admits that she left him in the dark the longest. "I thought you and I should have extra time to sort everything out. Scavenger hunts do take time, after all. It isn't as though all of their secrets can be revealed at once."

Yes, because the scavenger hunt of the real truth and feelings between them totally counts. That has taken a long, long time in their long, long lives.
