Sara nearly choked on her chips. She quickly filled Norah in on how her attempt to ride in Gonzalez's car had ended in total rejection. "He didn't give me an ounce of dignity! He was completely ruthless!"
Norah patted her arm sympathetically. "You know how he is by now, right? Just brush it off."
Sara crunched loudly on another chip. "Has he always been like this?"
"How should I know? We're not exactly close!"
Norah reached into the bag and grabbed a chip for herself. As soon as the words left her mouth, she thought back to her Saturday tutoring sessions at the bookstore. She never felt like he was unreasonable. In fact, he was incredibly easy to talk to.
He had even thoughtfully brought her breakfast this morning.
Maybe it was just because he needed her tutoring services, so he was on his best behavior.

Fueled by snacks and laughter, the drive flew by, and they soon arrived at the base of the mountain, navigating their way toward the campsite.
The moment they hit the mountain trails, the air became crisp and refreshingly cool. The surrounding area was well-developed and secure, making it a perfect spot for camping.
Stepping out of the car, Sara couldn't contain her excitement. She cupped her hands around her mouth and let out a loud cheer.
Vast expanses of lush green grass stretched before them, framed by magnificent, towering peaks. The air was pure, thick with the moisture of natural springs. Paired with the crisp, melodic sound of rushing water, the scenery was nothing short of breathtaking.
It truly was a spectacular location to set up camp.
The group began unloading their gear, searching for the perfect spot to pitch the tents.
"The river current here is extremely fast," Gonzalez warned the group. "Do not go near the water."
Sara looked at him in surprise. "How do you know?"
They were still a good distance away from the river and completely out of sight of the actual water.
"I can hear it," Gonzalez replied flatly. He pulled the wheelchair from the trunk, set it up smoothly on the grass, and turned to Norah. "Don't lift a finger. Just sit here and watch."

As the plot thicken. Adrian is done for and he can't try to control Norah, so he'd probably tattle to Janice who's gone for two weeks. Thank you soooo much for the updates....
