Norah was practically vibrating with excitement on the drive. "See? It wasn't nearly as difficult as you thought! My family didn't object at all. They agreed without any fuss!"
"All your worrying was completely for nothing!"
"I even talked to Jonathan. We agreed to keep our family dynamics separate, so you don't have to call him 'Uncle' anymore!"
"And you definitely don't need to worry about Estelle—"
Gonzalez suddenly reached over and enveloped her hand in his. The car rolled to a stop at a red light, and he turned to look at her, his dark eyes bottomless and intense. "I don't care about any of those things anymore."
Norah's eyes sparkled as if they held a thousand swirling stars. She squeezed his hand tightly. "I am so happy today!"
Her entire face glowed with radiant joy. "Starting today, we are officially dating."
Gonzalez smiled faintly. "How is officially dating any different from before?"
"Of course it's different!" Norah's eyes danced with mischief. "We can go shopping together, go on real dates, and we don't have to hide from anyone."
"So, what do you want to do?" he asked.
Norah thought about it seriously. "For our first official date... should we go shopping, or catch a movie?"
"Whatever you want," Gonzalez said with a nod.
Norah swung their joined hands back and forth, her smile growing even brighter.
Knowing that Gonzalez wasn't a fan of crowds, she decided against dragging him through a shopping mall and opted for a movie instead.
Since it was the weekend, the theater was bound to be packed. Norah quickly bought tickets on her phone. Glancing at the showtimes, she turned to him. "Romance or comedy?"
"Your choice," he replied, keeping his eyes on the road.
"Romance it is, then!" She relished the feeling of being able to openly choose a cheesy romance movie for a date.
