She has been keeping a huge secret from the man she loves about what happened between her and her ex when they feared they would die because of Xander (Paul Telfer), but now, Nicole (Arianne Zucker) may need to do some damage control to ensure that Daniel (Shawn Christian) never learned the truth on Days of Our Lives. 

Eric Forms An Alliance With Serena

Much to Nicole's surprise, after Eric (Greg Vaughn) learned she was moving in with Daniel, he declared that he still loved her and honestly never stopped, despite the hurt she caused him by keeping him out of the priesthood for her own selfish reasons. In an effort to make sure Daniel wouldn't overhear their conversation, she took Eric to the park to talk things over--unaware that Serena (Melissa Archer) was lurking in the background and could hear everything the two said to one another. 

Now, after Nicole potentially admits to Eric that she may still have feelings for him as well, she will realize Serena has overheard everything--and once again has the power to destroy what Nicole and Daniel have worked so hard to rebuild together after their endless problems for months. As a result, she may need to make a deal with her enemy in an effort to save her romance. 

Nicole Is Shaken After An Encounter With Xander

What Nicole doesn't realize or know is that it matters even more than ever, because Daniel also has plans to ask her another serious question that doesn't involve her living with him--but instead asks her to put on a diamond ring and agree to marry him. 

Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
