"I have finalized a house for you. If you want to come and look, we can make the decision immediately." Nora smiled as she knew Ava was changing the topic. Yet she welcomed the offer and they both stood up to visit the new house.
In the car, there was a strange suffocating silence.
"You look ashen!" Ava remarked. Nora looked at herself in the mirror and smiled.
"I just thought that I was strong enough. But that did not seem to be the case." Ava was stunned. She had thought Nora would not worry further if she explained the consequences after all, it is human nature to take a step back seeing danger.
