Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 177:

Out of the blue, someone yelled in the parking lot, “Brock, we’ve got to move! Let’s get out of here!”

The figure, now known as Brock, gave up approaching Norah and Sean and walked away after hesitating briefly.

Unexpectedly, Norah embraced him. Thinking she was merely frightened, Sean was momentarily stunned by the hug.

As the footsteps faded, Sean gently pulled Norah back, murmuring, “No need to be afraid.”

Sean silently promised to protect Norah at all costs.

Suddenly, she sensed a faint taste of blood on her lips and hurriedly drew back.
