Nora Smith Audio Book Novels & Stories

I say, in a quiet and obedient way, "I don't see any reason to say no. I am usually less busy than the other maids, if that is okay with you, Madam Lea." Nora's posture relaxes. She turns to her daughter-in-law, raising one perfectly arched silver eyebrow. "Well, Lea? Is it a problem?" Lea's knuckles turn white. She forces a smile so tight it looks painful. "If she is what you want, Nora, then of course. Why not?" Lea spins on her heel and marches out of the room. Nora doesn't take no for an answer. She never has. Looking at her reminds me of how this entire nightmare started. Before the crash, before the amnesia, I was Tara Smith—a rising fashion consultant in LA.

Nora was looking at Claire. She stood and looked at it for a long time. Then she put it face down at the back of the wardrobe shelf and closed the door. Ethan came back at half past seven. She heard the front door and then his footsteps below, and then Margaret’s voice low and brief, and then quiet. Nora was in the upstairs sitting room with a book she had not been reading for an hour. She stayed where she was and turned a page she had not read and listened to the house settle around his presence.

Vivienne Cabot was extraordinary in a polished, finished way, and standing next to Dominic she looked like the correct answer to a question about what his life was supposed to contain. Nora looked at the photographs longer than was useful. Then she closed the browser entirely, put on her running shoes, and went out into the October dark. Three miles. The playlist she used when she needed to outrun a thought heavy beat, no lyrics she could follow, the sonic equivalent of a white noise machine. She came back sweating and steadier and she showered and ate and sat on her fire escape with a blanket and called her mother. "How's work?" her mother asked.

Dr. Sabine Marsh had chosen a location that was neither hospital nor office nor anywhere that suggested official business. A reading room inside a university library on the eastern edge of the city. Old building. Thick walls. The kind of space where sound died two feet from its source and conversations stayed exactly where they were had. Nora arrived twelve minutes early. She had not told Henderson. She had not called Ethan. She had kissed her mother's cheek, left Ada sitting with the letter and her coffee and her tomatoes, and driven across the city with the forensic pathologist's voice still sitting in her chest like something with edges.

Ignoring Stephen's comment (which thankfully the werewolf man did not notice the woman's reaction at all), Nora gestured to enter the dimensional portal the woman had just created while speaking, directly leading them into the living room of the apartment where the woman lived. "Benvenuto, everyone," Nora immediately jumped over to the sofa chair like an elementary school child who was happy when they finally got home, sitting with both of her hands resting on the backrest of the chair the woman sits on while the woman's legs are crossed. "So, what's bringing you here, Karl Smith? As I do not believe you will come only to visit me to bring that sword that your late grandfather inherited, rig

An unusual fear emerges in her heart. ########## At Smith's mansion, inside the master bedroom, Nora tapped her foot on the ground and folded her arms. She looked at Bellamy with a stern look. "Mom, I am sorry. You know that Alaric is interested in men and I can't marry a person like him. I don't have any interest in his wealth as well. I just want to live with the man I love." Bellamy looked down as tears slipped down her cheeks. "Are you sure he is interested in men?" Nora frowned. Did Paul trick them and use her precious daughter to shield his grandson's sexuality? Nora's heart throbbed with pain.

So when I saw the Everley runes glowing faintly in the beams of the ceiling, as if scorched there by hands long dead, I went straight to her. I found Nora in the great hall, her hair tangled from sleep, fire flickering across her skin in restless sparks. She looked at me once and knew. She always knew. “Come with me,” I said, voice low. The library was dark except for the faint golden shimmer of runes. They pulsed like veins, casting fractured light down on the rows of books and the stone floor. I tilted my head up, throat tight. “Everley script,” I muttered, my voice bitter. “Etched into the bones of a place my House wanted erased. And here I am, pretending I have the right to study it. To

“It’s not.” There was a beat. Then another. When she didn’t continue, I scowled. “What are you not telling me?” Nora bit the inside of her cheek, like she was measuring how much she could get away with sharing with me. Then she dug around in her satchel before pulling out an old, leather-bound book. The binding was worn and cracking, and the cover was faded with the crest of House Aurelian. She opened it carefully and turned the pages with a brittle whisper before pausing.

Seraphina said and Nora scoffed. "The burial ceremony of Doctor Smith went well, I came straight from the burial site to your apartment. I don't just want to go back home with that dickhead, he is becoming so annoying with the restrictions and monitoring spirits he placed on me. He doesn't even want me to go visit Rufus for any reason," Nora explained feeling so frustrated and Seraphina sighed as she sat beside her.
