Sara tilted her umbrella toward Norah and offered him a sweet smile. "I can take over."
Xavier gave a curt nod and stepped back, taking his umbrella with him.
Just then, an SUV pulled up to the curb. Adrian leaped out with an umbrella. He froze for a split second when he spotted Xavier, then quickly rushed over, his tension palpable. "Norah!"
Norah's face lit up in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
Xavier caught the genuine delight on her face, and his jaw immediately clenched tight.
Adrian held his umbrella protectively over Norah while casting a highly defensive glare at Xavier. His handsome face was full of gentle concern as he looked down at her. "I saw the storm rolling in. I figured your driver might get stuck in traffic, so I came to pick you up myself."
He had called her driver on the way to check her location, and just as he'd suspected, the van was trapped in massive gridlock miles away.
Norah looked up at him, a lovely smile curving her lips. "You always think of everything."
"Let's get you home," Adrian said softly, taking off his suit jacket and draping it carefully over her shoulders.
Norah glanced back at Sara. "I'll give you a ride."
"Oh, no need!" Sara quickly declined. "Khloe is pulling up right now. We're heading in the same direction anyway. You go ahead, just text the group chat when you get back."
"Okay, tell Khloe I said bye!" Norah waved.
Adrian held the umbrella with one hand and smoothly pushed her wheelchair toward his Mercedes G-Class. He had specifically brought the spacious SUV. With practiced ease, he lifted Norah into the passenger seat.
As she settled in, Norah suddenly remembered Gonzalez and turned her head to look for him.
He was still standing exactly where she had left him. The misty evening rain blurred his sharp features, making it impossible to read his expression. The only thing she could see clearly was that the entire right shoulder of his dark shirt was soaked through—a result of him angling his umbrella to protect her earlier.
It was only a fleeting glance before Adrian closed the car door, blocking him from her view.
Adrian swiftly loaded her wheelchair into the trunk, hopped into the driver's seat, and peeled away from the curb.
By the time Norah looked back through the rain-streaked window, the tall man's figure had already blurred in the downpour, fading into a lonely shadow under the dim streetlights.
