Nikki, as she’s known to her friends, feels helplessly trapped by her situation and makes her way to the aft deck and thinks of suicide until she is rescued by Jesse. This is where she asked him “to never let go”. Deciding to forsake her intended future all together, Nikki asks Jesse , who has made his living making sketches on the streets of Paris, to draw her wearing the invaluable blue diamond that Cal has given her. This begins a new adventure for the both of them.
