Chapter 54: A Night For Us

“Am I dreaming?”

“What do you think?”

“Humor me.”

“Nori, you're not dreaming.”

Nori squealed and jumped on the fluffy bed. Brad had booked them a suite at the Le Walt hotel near the Eiffel tower.

Large baroque paintings hung over the beds and soft lights made the room glow with an air of luxurious coziness. The room’s beige decor paired tastefully with the blue furniture. The simply furnished space reminded Nori a little of Brad’s apartment.

Brad laughed and eased down next to her, “You like it?”

“Yes! Yes! A million times yes! It’s better than I ever imagined."

She rolled over onto her back and took his hand in hers, "I’m so glad you’re alright.”

She weaved her fingers through his and marveled at how nicely they fit together. Nori traced the lines of his fingernails and then turned his hand over, following the little rivers of veins that protruded from under his skin.

Before Nori could stop herself, she pressed a quick kiss to the back of his hand.
