Norah had already made up her mind.
Taking a deep breath and locking eyes with Sean, she declared, “I do.”
Seeing Sean's bewildered expression, she affirmed, “Sean, I'm ready to be your girlfriend.”
Sean, initially shocked, burst into joy. He was visibly shaking as he placed his hand on Norah’s shoulder. “Really?
You said yes? You want to be my girlfriend? Tellone more time, please! | can’t believe my ears!”
Overwhelmed with happiness, Sean enveloped Norah in an embrace, as if she were a priceless gem.
Norah rested her head on his shoulder, taking in his unique scent. “So, do you need a ‘no’ fromto believe
it?”

“No way! You agreed to be my girlfriend! There's no turning back now!” Sean tightened his embrace. “We're
together now. This makesfeel on cloud nine!”
Norah smiled, but then interjected, “Don’t be so happy yet. We're not done talking.”
She continued, trying to break free. “Letgo first. | have something important to discuss with you.”
Sean reluctantly released her and sat beside her on a stone bench, never taking his eyes off her.
With a complex look in her eyes, Norah began, “Sean, you know I've just experienced a failed marriage. | don’t
want you digging into my past with Derek.”

“Understood,” Sean replied quietly.
Norah added, “I'm quite possessive. | don’t appreciate you being too close to other women. Likewise, I'll
maintain distance from other men. Most importantly, keep an appropriate distance from any woman.”
Maintaining a relationship required effort from both sides.
“I'm a doctor, which means I'm always occupied. | can’t be by your side all the time,” Norah fidgeted with her
fingers. Constant companionship had devalued her in the past, a mistake she wouldn't repeat.
“That's fine,” Sean replied earnestly. “Having a career is important. I'm frequently busy myself, often traveling
for work. We'll understand each other.”
Sean reached out to gently untangle a knot in her hair.
Norah tried to dodge, but she couldn't avoid his touch. She watched his fingers deftly work through her locks.
The connection between them was palpable. She glanced at him, suddenly at a loss for words. She didn’t know
what to say next.

Derek and Norah had been married for years, yet their closest moments were merely sharing meals. She was the
one who had cared for Derek when he was in a vegetative state. But once he recovered, he got caught up in
work and didn’t even chfor dinner. Derek and she had never been this close before.
Every tshe approached Derek, a disgusted look would cross his face. She had hoped tand
companionship would melt his disdain. But she realized it was her obligation that faded, not his coldness.
Tears blurred Norah's vision as these thoughts overwhelmed her.
Sean noticed and wrapped her in a comforting embrace. “Norah, I'll heed your wishes and make tfor us.
Please don’t be upset.”
His words eased Norah's sorrow. Seeing him misunderstand the source of her distress, she gently tapped his
shoulder, clarifying, “I'm not upset. | had something to tell you, but it slipped my mind. I'll share it when |
remember,” Norah said, her mind cluttered with memories, causing her to lose her train of thought.
“Norah, I'm here whenever you're ready to talk,” Sean replied, his mind fixed on the fact that Norah was his
girlfriend now. He agreed to everything she said with a silly smile, delighted by their new relationship.
Norah chuckled at his reaction and teased, “This giggle seems to be a new side of you.”
