Nora's POV "What?" Emily asked, staring at me. "I didn't hear what you said.""I didn't say anything." I lied."I thought I heard you mumble something." "I didn't." She shrugged, not interested in arguing with me. "So what is it? You've had your first kiss with Damon or you are still working toward it?"I cleared my throat, feeling uncomfortable. "I need to use the restroom." I didn't want to discuss with her anymore. The conversation was putting unwanted images in my head. I had no idea why I was slightly happy that Damon hadn't kissed Sasha or why I imagined myself kissing him. Why did she have to say that and affect my thoughts? No, I didn't want to kiss Damon. Not at all. I convinced myself that I wasn't attracted to Damon and shook my head. "Excuse me, Emily." I said as I stood up and walked off toward the restroom.I didn't feel the need to pee but entered one of the stalls in case Emily followed me. I couldn't put it past her to be that crazy for information. I flushed ev

Nora's POV I stifled a yawn for the fourth time in the last five minutes since I got introduced to her. I wanted to leave but didn't want to as that would be ruining Sasha's reputation and Damon's image as well. Moreover, I was polite to a fault and wouldn't have walked away on someone talking even if I could. "Do you see how funny that was?" She asked, her eyes twinkling with mirth as she drew closer to me.I nodded in agreement even though I had no idea what was interesting in what she had told me so far. I guessed she only liked the sound of her voice but I couldn't bear to tell her that. Why haven't anyone told her all along that she was boring? I wondered if I was the only one who found her boring and was starting to wonder what kind of person Sasha was if she found someone like her interesting enough to keep as a friend.Emily Stewart, the woman I'd been conversing with for the past few minutes and was told by Damon to suck up to, had to be one of the most boring and obnoxious
Nora's POV "Thank you all for celebrating with me." Cara beamed, raising a glass of champagne up as as she stood to address her guests. "And to my wonderful daughter-in-law, cheers to you for making me happy. I pray your union with my son lasts."I winced inwardly at Cara's public toast but kept my expression blank as I raised my glass up to her. "To start the festivity, I would like my son and my daughter to have the first dance." Cara said, her gaze pinned on me.My eyes widened at her words. Was she kidding? Why did Damon and I need to have the first dance? It was her birthday party. Shouldn't she have the first dance with her husband? I glanced at James to check what he thought and noticed that he didn't mind. In fact, his eyes sparked with delight and I realized that he knew beforehand what his wife was going to say.I let out a groan as I realized that those two old naughty people had ganged up against us. I didn't want to dance with Damon before all these people, and noticed
Nora's POV It was a teary goodbye for Cara and James as we bid them farewell but an impatient one for Damon. After saying his goodbyes to his parents and giving them brief hugs, he marched to his car."Don't forget to visit soon." Cara said, pulling me in for another embrace which would be the fifth one since we told them we were going back home."I won't." I said, smiling as Cara released me.I was going to miss their warmth and was sad to let them go as they were as well to let go of us. Who wouldn't be sad to leave Cara and James when they would be living with the ice king?Damon honked from where he was, impatience screaming from the act. Cara and I rolled our eyes at the same time and shared a grin when we realized what we did."You should leave before you make your husband mad." James sighed, pulling Cara off me and settling her beside him.Their affection for each other melted my heart and brought tears to my eyes. I blinked it away, reminding myself that kind of love wasn't f
Nora's POV "What are you doing?"My eyes widened at the sound of that voice and my heart almost leaped out in fear as I slowly raise my head up from the diary to the door where he stood, glaring at me as if he wanted to eat me raw. His gaze was pinned on me, fire steaming out of it as he marched toward me. "What are you doing?" He asked again, his eyes narrowed at me."Nothing." I breathed, slamming the diary shut.I should have locked the door before I started reading. I knew I didn't know what I was going to find in the diary but I should have known that Damon would find it intrusive that I touched his diary at all. He glanced at the diary I slammed shut and hurriedly tried to hide, his lips morphing into an ugly scowl. "What is that?""It's nothing." I replied with a vigorous shake of my head, nervous and feeling sweats sluice down my forehead.He let out a growl, his hands clenching with rage. "I swear, Nora, if you tell me nothing again, you are not going to like what I do."I
