Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 26:

Norah’s response made sense, and Sean couldn’t find anything to retort.

He found himself at a loss for words and averted his gaze. It appeared Norah had quite a few misconceptions about him, given her indifferent attitude.

“If you’re up for it, just say when. I’ll be ready,” replied Sean, holding a glass of wine. “Only hope you’ll make it by then.”

She smiled and lifted her glass of watermelon juice in response. “Of course.”

As she sipped her watermelon juice, Norah noted the roughness of Sean’s hands, filled with calluses.

Wasn’t Sean supposed to be the heir to the wealthy Scott family? Born into Glophia’s most influential family, one would expect him to lead a life of luxury. Yet, his hands told a story of hard labor.

Norah’s knowledge of Glophia was limited. She had returned only a few years ago to marry Derek, learning about the Scott family through stories Derek shared upon awakening. She understood Sean’s prowess in business. Not only did Derek speak highly of him, but Bryson did too.

Norah could tell those calluses were from Sean’s frequent handling of firearms.

Susanna nodded, “I guess that makes sense. Anyway, I really like her. I wish I could see her more often.”
