Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 189:

Sean entered with a cold sneer, each step deliberate. “Well, what do you make of this?”

He made his way to the group, displacing the young man beside Norah, and drew her forcefully into his arms. “Would I have caught you in bed together had I been any moment later?”

Feeling wrongly accused, Norah protested, “How could you even think that?”

Her intent had been purely to investigate her suspicions, not to engage in anything inappropriate.

“Do you truly see me as such a person?” Norah challenged, her voice ringing with hurt. She extricated herself from his grip and stood, her stance reflecting her inner turmoil. “If this is your opinion of me, I see no point in our meeting tomorrow. It seems we have nothing further to discuss.”

Realization dawned on Sean that his accusations were misplaced.

As Norah turned to leave, he reached out, clasping her wrist in a bid to soothe the situation. “I was wrong to say that. Please, don’t be upset, Norah.”

Norah’s response was laden with a mix of indignation and vulnerability. “Why would I be upset? I wouldn’t dare to be. What am I to you? What standing do I have to show any anger?”

Norah stood imposingly over Sean, who remained seated, her words gaining intensity.
