Chapter 58

Her heart skipped a heat before it started

She hadn’t expected this. She thought she would have to prove herself again, that she would need to fight for a place, but here was Colton, offering her another chance. A second chance.

Joy surged through her chest, making it almost difficult to breathe. I would be honored,” she said immediately, her voice slightly breathless with excitement. “It would be my privilege to be your disciple:”

Nora smiled softly and shook her head. “Should I call you senior now?

Leo shrugged. “Maybe so, after all, you’re the new kid on the block in Colton’s world.”

Despite the playful banter, a part of Nora still felt a little nervous. After the excitement of officially becoming Colton’s disciple settled, reality hit her–she had a long road ahead.
