Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 30:

“Sean, who’s that upstairs? Phillip, do you know her? I’m dying of curiosity over here.”

Norah caught this as she was halfway down the stairs. She briefly paused, then continued her descent. Her footsteps echoed clearly in the quiet.

The young girl below caught the sound and looked up expectantly.

Norah, in white loungewear, glanced at the young girl, and their eyes met. Despite her slight pallor, Norah’s beauty remained undiminished. Her long hair cascaded down her back, and even in casual attire, her presence was striking. She strolled into the living room with ease.

“Hi, I’m Susanna. What’s your name?” Susanna asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. She wore a pink and white outfit that enhanced her youthful charm.

Norah responded with a friendly smile. “Pleasure to meet you. I’m Norah, Norah Wilson. My brother talks about you quite often.”

Susanna mused aloud, her brow furrowing as she tapped her chin. “Hmm, take some water, and remember to take your medicine after meals.”

Sean interjected, placing a glass of warm water on the table for Norah.

Grateful for the refreshment, Norah thanked him and took a satisfying drink. She finally felt better.

After setting the glass down for Norah, Sean pivoted and exited the living room.
