Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 138:

At the gate of Sean’s villa, Norah and Susanna had barely stepped inside when the rich scent of cooking enveloped them. Susanna couldn’t contain her excitement. “Just as I thought, steak and so many other dishes! It smells and looks incredibly good!”

Sean, holding a plate, emerged wearing a deep blue apron. His friendly demeanor caught Norah’s attention, making her glance his way without meaning to.

Sean set the plate down and glanced at Norah. “Go wash your hands, we’re all set to eat.”

Sitting at the dining table, Norah was touched. The idea of Sean, the head of the Scott household, cooking just for her left her at a loss for words. The man moving around the kitchen brought a cozy vibe, making him feel more approachable than ever. Gone was the image of him as someone out of reach. Now, he felt close enough to touch.

Norah shook off these strange thoughts, deciding to go with the flow.

Sean broke the silence at the table. “Try the fish slices. I’ve taken out all the bones.”

He pushed the plate toward Norah. “Susanna, remember, no chili peppers for you.”

“I know, I know. Norah, give it a taste!” Susanna urged eagerly.

Norah lifted a forkful of fish, topped with coriander leaves, and tasted it. “The fish is soft, and the flavor is spot on.”
