Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 103:

“Norah, please accept them. Otherwise, I’m at a loss about how to gift you other things,” Sean implored, giving a nonchalant shrug. “You know, there’s no need for me to keep that dress and high heels.”

Suddenly, Norah realized she had transformed during her two-year stay with the Carter family. Where once she would accept presents without a second thought, she now found herself pausing, wondering if she should accept them. It was clear Derek’s domineering behavior had left its mark.

Her initial concern was whether she deserved those gifts.

“Okay, I’ll take it. Thank you, Sean.” Norah beamed.

Sean rose to his feet. “There’s something else you’ve overlooked.”

Norah felt puzzled. Had she forgotten something? The next moment, the sight of the silver dress jogged her memory of that mortifying night. “I had assumed you had discarded that dress.”

Sean’s previous remarks had led Norah to believe he had disposed of the blood-stained, unsightly dress.

“I mentioned you could retrieve it whenever,” Sean replied flatly.

Sean placed the dress in a bag beside Norah and then produced a jewelry box from his pocket. “Take a look. Do you like it?”

“This is for you. It seemed perfect for you the moment I saw it,” Sean explained.

The brooch sparkled, mirroring how Norah always appeared luminous in Sean’s eyes.
