Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 1373:

Norah, always critical of Alyssa’s instinctive trust in others, responded to her query, “This is your issue. If I share my thoughts, you might form a negative view of Bryson. Even so, do you still want my opinion? Moreover, the fact that you’re asking suggests you already have reservations, right?”

In moments of uncertainty, Alyssa felt adrift, desperately seeking guidance. At such times, Norah was her guiding light in the darkness. “I must be honest with you. I do have feelings for Bryson, but I’m unsure if I can trust him completely,” Alyssa sighed.

“Love is complex and can’t be neatly summarized. The best advice I can give you is not to hesitate and to follow your heart.”

They continued their conversation, and as they talked, Alyssa’s coffee cooled. She picked up her cup and drank the remaining coffee quickly. Norah remarked, “I understand your concerns, but advice from others rarely helps with personal matters of the heart. That’s all I will say. Goodbye.”

She was not a relationship expert. To ask her for advice might have been too much.

Unbeknownst to her, Alyssa took her words very seriously and pondered them deeply.
