In his eyes A smile crossed her face
Nora was momentarily transfixed to the floor, caught off guard by Sebastian's unexpected appearance. The atmosphere grew slightly awkward as he stood at the doorway, unable to enter without her invitation."What are you doing here?" Nora finally managed to ask, finding her voice amidst the surprise and confusion."I've been trying to reach you, Nora. I just came into town and couldn't leave without seeing you," Sebastian explained, his concern evident in his words."Sebastian, if I've been avoiding your calls, it's clear I'm not ready to speak to you," Nora stated calmly, her voice steady and composed, revealing her determination to set boundaries."Nora, I don't understand you. Why are you avoiding me? You've avoided me for the past five years, and I admit I should have asked before showing up. But can we at least talk?" Sebastian asked. Nora looked at Sebastian and said no. Sebastian turned on his heels and walked away.Nora went back to the couch, picked up her tablet, and put it d
In his eyes Nora braced herself

With confident strides, she approached the door, expecting Greg's arrival.As she swung the door open, her anticipation was met with the sight of Greg.

In his eyes Urgency
Nora could sense the urgency in her mother's demeanour. "Mom, what's going on?" she asked, worry etching her voice. Her mom hesitated, then finally spoke, "It's your dad."Alarmed, Nora rushed to her parents' room. There, she found her father lying on the bed. "Dad, what happened?" she asked, her voice full of concern. Her father weakly explained, "I fell from the ladder while trying to put up some items at the shop."Tears welled up in Nora's eyes. "How did this happen?" she questioned, her heart sinking. Her father, wincing in pain, responded, "It's the pain, dear. My hip has been bothering me for some time. While I was on the ladder, the pain intensified, and I lost my balance." The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on Nora as she tried to comfort her father in distress. Nora was both shocked and worried. "Dad, we need to get you to the hospital," she said urgently, her mind racing with what needed to be done. She glanced at her mom, who looked equally concerned. They helpe
In his eyes Relief
When she got to the hospital, Nora went straight to her father's room and his bed was empty. Nora sat right there on the floor and tears rolled down her cheeks. She felt a sting pain in her chest, she could not believe her dad was dead. She walked out to the corridor. Nora's tears continued to flow as her mother found her in the hospital corridor. She held her sleeping daughter close to her chest and struggled to speak. "How did it happen?" Nora choked out between sobs, her mind racing with dark thoughts.Her mother, realizing the misunderstanding, gently comforted her daughter. "Your dad is alive," she said, her voice wavering but filled with relief, "he's being prepped for surgery. I thought he was gone too when I first saw the empty bed, but he's getting the help he needs."Nora's fear began to subside as the weight of dread was lifted off her shoulders. She nodded, tears still glistening in her eyes, and held her mother close."But Mom," Nora said, her voice trembling, "why is he
In his eyes Confrontation
"I wanted to see you," Alexander replied with a charming smile, "I thought these might brighten your day."The roses were undeniably lovely, their vibrant red petals an exquisite contrast to the awkwardness of the situation. Nora hesitated, torn between politeness and the impending date with Greg. She managed a weak smile and accepted the bouquet, trying to find the right words."I appreciate the gesture, Alexander," Nora said, "but I'm actually in the middle of something important right now. I have a prior engagement."Alexander's smile wavered slightly, and he glanced past Nora as if searching for clues to her earlier excitement. "Oh, I see. I didn't realize you had plans. Maybe another time, then?"Nora nodded, her heart heavy with the complication of the situation. "Yes, another time would be better. I'll call you."With that, she closed the door, the bouquet of roses now a reminder of the tangled threads of her personal life. Nora took a deep breath, pushing her mixed emotions as
In his eyes Red head
Nora had a lot on her mind as she put Graycen to bed. Her thoughts were jumbled, and she couldn't help but think about the recent encounter with Alexander and the unusual restraint he had shown. She was relieved that things hadn't escalated.Her thoughts then drifted to a birthday party she and Alexander had attended together, along with Greg's friend Sebastian. He had walked out with a redhead with big boobs that were almost spilling out of her clothes. When he came back and saw her talking and laughing with his friend Sebastian. He had gotten jealous and had thrown a glass against the wall, shattering it, and leaving her taken aback.Nora couldn't help but be impressed by Alexander's unexpectedly calm demeanour when he encountered her having a date with Greg. It was a stark contrast to the fiery temper she had witnessed in the past. This change in behaviour left her intrigued and relieved that there might be a new understanding between them.The male figure approached Greg's car and
In his eyes Time will tell
Alexander replied, his gaze steady, "I understand why you might think that, but no, it's not about buying forgiveness. I genuinely want to make amends and be there for Nora and Graycen. The surgery was the right thing to do, and I'm not expecting anything in return. I'm well aware of the mistakes I've made in the past."Nora's father studied Alexander's face for a moment, assessing the sincerity in his words. After a pause, he nodded, "Well, actions speak louder than words. Time will tell."Nora's mom got up, "deserts anyone?", Amanda asked in a bid to release the tension in the room. "Let me help you get it", Nora said as she got up and followed her mother to the kitchen. "Mom why is Dad making everything weird", Nora asked as she brought out the cake knife. "Your father is right in asking him questions. He can't just waltz in here like nothing happened, hoping to pick up from where he left off", Amanda stated. The conversation shifted back to lighter topics, and they all continue
