Emma Norman And Ray Novels & Stories

"You left in quite a hurry." Aria's heart pounded. She could feel Ethan’s grip tighten protectively around her. He stepped forward, placing a hand on her back, a silent shield. "It was a lady's thing, Dad," Ethan said simply, his voice firm and decisive. He held Norman’s gaze, a silent, powerful exchange passing between them. It was a look that said, This is private. Don't push it. Trust me. Norman, the master of reading people, understood the silent communication perfectly. He saw the genuine, protective love in his son’s eyes and knew that pressing further would only create a rift. He decided to let it go, for now.
