Gonzalez and Norah walked a short distance before flagging down a park shuttle.
After paying the fare, the driver dropped them off at the base station for the mountain gondola.
Once they were secured in the small glass cabin, Norah finally asked the question burning in her mind. "Uncle Gonzalez, do you have a problem with Adrian?"
Why was he always so relentlessly cold and sarcastic toward him?
Gonzalez's dark, penetrating gaze fixed entirely on her. "Would it bother you if I did?"
Norah nodded honestly. "He's my friend. When you act like you hate him, it makes the vibe really awkward for everyone. If you want, we can just split up for the rest of the trip."
"Split up how?" Gonzalez asked smoothly.
"Adrian and I can be a team, and you and Sara can be a team. We don't have to spend the whole time together."
She had studied the topographical map earlier. There were plenty of different attractions at the summit. If their personalities clashed this badly, there was no reason to force a group dynamic.
The moment the words left her mouth, Gonzalez's expression turned absolutely lethal. The interior of a gondola was already small; filled with his suddenly freezing, suffocating aura, the space felt terrifyingly oppressive.
But Norah wasn't intimidated. She hadn't said anything wrong. What right did he have to be angry?
As the gondola glided smoothly upward, Gonzalez turned his head, staring blankly at the lush, sprawling mountainside. He fought violently to suppress the bitter jealousy and rising fury clawing at his chest. When he finally looked back at Norah, he had managed to force his features into a neutral mask.
"Norah, I have zero interest in Sara. When you constantly try to push us together, it puts me in a highly uncomfortable position, and frankly, it's incredibly unfair to her."
Norah stared at him, stunned. So *that* was why he had been so furious.
It also perfectly explained why he had been so aggressively adamant about being the one to take the gondola with her.

Dear author Lucy, may we please have updates. Thank you....
There's a song currently playing via YouTube and TikToc by LowDii "Touch Me Softly" that makes me think of Norah and Xavier (Gonzalez). Please, I'm looking forward to updates. Thank you for your writing....
May we please have updates. Thank you....
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....
These updates were too funny. Thank you so much for the updates....
I forgot to add Amy to the group of pregnant women,since she was the first. Emily and Sylvia better be careful since pregnancy is in the air....
