When they reached the glass skywalk, the usually bold and fearless Sara was so terrified she dropped straight to her knees. When Adrian tried to help her up, she clung to his thigh with a death grip, refusing to let go.
"I'm not doing this!"
"I want to go home! I want my mom!"
"Adrian, did you suggest this just to get revenge on me? I wasted my breath calling you a magnanimous guy!"
With a bottomless abyss directly beneath her feet, her legs had turned to jelly. She couldn't stand up at all.
Adrian looked entirely falsely accused, bursting into a booming laugh. "Keep complaining, and I'm taking my leg back!"
Sara hugged it even tighter. "Bro! Boss! I'll shut up!"
Norah was laughing so hard she was doubled over. She and Adrian each grabbed one of Sara's arms and literally dragged her across the glass.
Thankfully, Sara wasn't the only one having a meltdown on the skywalk, so her screaming didn't draw too much embarrassing attention.
Watching the three of them mess around, a faint smile tugged at the corner of Gonzalez's lips. Suddenly, he thought about how incredible it was to be young.
To be able to goof off without a care in the world, to constantly radiate passion and excitement. Even just standing on the sidelines, he could feel their vibrant, youthful energy.

By the time they returned to the base camp at the foot of the mountain, dusk had fallen. The sky was heavy with twilight, surrounded by lush green mountains. Under a thin veil of mist, the distant, isolated peaks looked even more majestic.
Lorelei and Whitney were already back, lounging in folding chairs and chatting. When they saw the group return, Lorelei greeted Norah and Sara as if absolutely nothing had happened.
Earlier, when Norah had asked why Lorelei hadn't hiked up with them, Sara had vaguely mentioned that they went to a different attraction, completely omitting the nasty confrontation.
Unaware of the drama, Norah was about to respond nicely, but Sara swiftly yanked her back.

With Adrian last comment, he's gonna get whipped and wonder what happened. Thank you so so much for the updates....
May we please have more updates. Thank you....
I would like for Norah to secretly have her memory restored and not tell anyone just to observe how everyone is trying to keep mess going....
Janice and Adrian don't want Norah to be with Xavier....
Thank you for the updates. You do keep us in suspense....
Curious as to how, what, when and where Norah will get her memory back of Xavier....
I'm so glad that Gonzalez was able to get Luke, Oliver and all others who wanted to challenge himas the CEO straight. Interesting how Xavier made reference to a girlfriend concerning his gift to Norah, but never did this before her accident. I'm grateful for the updates. Thank you...
I had a lot of catching up to do..oh buoy, what twist and turns. Loved every bit of it, thank you for keep updating the novel. Hoping for more love along the way....
May we please have updates. Thank you...
Someone needs to send a new picture of Trevor to Oliver and Luke so that they will get their requested reports to Gonzalez asap. If they didn't know, now they know what awaits them if they continue to disrespect and NOT follow orders....
