Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3173

It was a hand-woven straw hat accented with a trailing white ribbon. She broke into a radiant smile. "It's beautiful."

Bathed in the sunlight, the man's deep gaze softened. "As long as you like it."

He then pulled out the black leather bracelet with the silver charm and handed it over. "For you."

He hoped that his intentions would be enough to keep her safe and healthy too.

Norah accepted it, inspecting it with curiosity. She looked up with a laugh. "Do you have a thing for gifting this specific style of jewelry?"

Gonzalez held her gaze. "I've only ever given one to you."

Norah suddenly remembered the identical bracelet sitting in her drawer back home. She smiled. "Did you give me one of these before?"

Gonzalez shook his head. "No."

It was she who had given it to him.

A faint mist seemed to cloud Norah's eyes as she looked at him in confusion. "Then who gave it to me? Why can't I remember? Did I forget something?"

Gonzalez stared deeply at her but remained silent.

Norah wanted to tell him that every time she was with him, she felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity—a distant, hazy connection. And as they spent more time together, that feeling only grew stronger.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed, shattering the strange, magnetic tension between them. Norah jolted as if waking from a deep trance.

It was Adrian calling to say that he and Sara had arrived, asking for her location.

Holding the phone, Norah smiled. "We're over by the bungee jumping..."

Just as she spoke, she glanced up and spotted Adrian and Sara in the distance. She immediately waved her hand, shouting excitedly, "I see you! Can you see me?"

She tucked the bracelet away and began walking toward Adrian as she spoke.

Norah's eyes widened. "What happened?"

Sara couldn't help but laugh. "It was my fault. I formally apologize to Adrian!"

She looked around and spotted The Crystal Spoon nearby. "Let's go grab some dessert. My treat, as a peace offering to Adrian, and we can all get out of the sun."

"Sounds great!" Norah agreed instantly. Suddenly, she remembered something. "Where are Lorelei and Whitney?"

Sara scoffed. "Don't even mention them, or we'll lose our appetites! Let's just go inside and find a seat."

Norah turned around and waved at Gonzalez. "Uncle Gonzalez, let's go get some dessert."

Gonzalez gave a curt nod and followed the group into the shop.

After finishing their treats and resting for a bit, they set out to explore the mountain trails.
