Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 101:

After delivering treatment to Devonte as she always did, Norah made her way to the living room sofa and took a seat.

“Devonte’s doing much better now. He’s out of the woods and won’t be as critical as he was. He’ll need about a month or two to fully recover, but he’s up for sitting up and having chats now,” Norah reported.

That was the best outcome Norah could hope for.

The news of his grandfather’s improved condition brought a spark of joy to Kason’s eyes. “Norah, thank you for everything you’ve done for my grandpa.”

“Just doing my job,” Norah replied, sipping from a glass of water. “I’ll be heading out soon.”

“Won’t you stay a bit longer?” Kason asked, his voice laced with a hint of sadness. “Does my company make you uncomfortable?”

Norah looked up at him, puzzled by his question. Why would he say something like that? She recalled Kason’s usually stoic demeanor.

“Kason, if there’s something on your mind, just say it. Have I ever seemed uncomfortable around you?” Norah raised an eyebrow. “Right now, you seem eager to have me leave just after finishing my work.”

Setting her glass down, Norah gestured with open hands. “I’ve got errands to run. It’s not about feeling uneasy around you. You’re overthinking things, Kason.”

Reacting to Norah’s candid response, Kason looked surprised. Was he really overthinking? The thought of Sean sitting beside Norah today stirred something unfamiliar in Kason’s heart. “Maybe you’re right. Seeing you and Sean together today made me jump to conclusions.”

Norah realized there was some truth to his concerns. Attending the auction with Sean was bound to raise eyebrows. Sean’s tenderness toward her piqued others’ curiosity.

“We’re just friends, much like you and me,” Norah clarified earnestly.
