Thrill of the Chase
Mom lets out a soft chuckle at Alex's protective instincts before becoming serious once more.
"Well, his name is Noah Matthews," she begins. "He's an English Literature teacher at New Trier Township High School. I met him a month ago when his nephew was admitted to our hospital's urgent care after having an allergic reaction." She intertwines her fingers, her voice gradually growing quieter. "He asked me out for coffee that same evening. One thing led to another, we went on a few more dates, and now," she sighs, "here we are..." Mom trails off, briefly glancing down at her still interlocked fingers. Even though Alex and I might seem a bit dense, it's evident to anyone that she's nervous.
