Ray and Nikki

I love this show and just started rewatching it again. I always loved Nikki's character- warts and all- because you love to hate her and hate to love her. But when she started getting involved with Ray, I was so into them! Did anyone else want this to go longer?! I felt like it was her first time feeling real affection and I guess I hated seeing it end. Plus, even though I don't dislike Bill (unlike most people), Ray seemed way more worthy of a melting-heart Nikki
