Arnold stood a short distance away with his friends Cole and Charles,
Cole and Charles were openly staring at her, their surprise evident in their wide eyes and exchanged glances.
Arnold, however, was different. His expression was cold, his gaze icy and unyielding, as if she were a stranger he had never known.
For a moment, the hollroom felt smaller, the air heavier.
The look on Arnold’s face stung, but Nora squared her shoulders and held her ground.
She wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of seeing her falter.

Leo, noticing the subtle changes in her eyes, leaned in with a concerned tone.
“Are you all right. Nora? You seem troubled by all this,” he asked, his voice laced with genuine care.
