Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 112:

Sean glanced over and spotted Susanna in the passenger seat, her eyes brimming with tears and her lips pursed.

“I’m worried about her. No need for tears. I’ll get you home first. You should rest,” he said.

After dropping Susanna off, Sean and Norah headed toward Dreamview Villas.

“Norah, do you remember what happened?” Sean asked.

“Yeah,” Norah replied, unfolding the story. “I wasn’t wasted. I sprang into action when those bullies targeted Susanna.” A few drinks in, Norah sensed something between Frieda and Bart, who were pretending to be drunk. But after a few too many, Norah began to feel a little dizzy.

Today marked her escape from the Carter family, and the happiness pushed her to drink more than usual. Little did she know, her face turned red, and her eyes became dreamy, making her appear intoxicated.

Sean also thought, Norah, you’re inebriated. Can you manage if I drop you home?

“Why not?” Norah squinted, her tone charming. “If I can’t handle myself, will you be there to help?”

“I will,” Sean’s deep voice cut through the quiet of the car, and Norah’s heart softened.

Maybe it was the alcohol, but Norah felt compelled to ask the question she had posed earlier over the phone, “Sean, do you like me?”

“Yes,” he replied.
