Madly Yours (Nora Reed) novel Chapter 258

"Then how do I prove if I'm actually cured or just being overridden?"

Leona paused. "In the past... Hudson has always been the one initiating, right?"

Nora's face caught fire. "...Yeah."

"Then this time, you take the lead."

Nora's grip on the phone tightened. "...How do I do that?"

"Dress up a bit. Make yourself look beautiful, a little seductive. Make the first move to tempt him. If your anxiety still doesn't trigger under those conditions, then you are likely fully recovered."

"There's so much lingerie out there now. You could try putting some of that on."

After hanging up, Nora sat on the edge of the bed, her heart hammering against her ribs.

She remembered the pile of things shoved into the bottom drawer of the walk-in closet.

Ever since she had worn a set once, it was as if Hudson had unlocked a whole new world. He had bought a mountain of them—every style, every color imaginable—cramming an entire drawer full.

She had always found them incredibly embarrassing, wishing she could burn the lot every time she laid eyes on them.

But...

She was also terrified that if she didn't look beautiful and sexy, Hudson might not want to touch her.

And right now, she was absolutely desperate to know if her Intimacy Anxiety was truly gone...

Intimacy Anxiety had tortured her for over ten years.

A simple handshake used to trigger cold sweats and full-body panic. The suffocating terror had even caused severe physical reactions in the past.

If she was truly cured this time...

Didn't that mean she could finally live a vibrant, normal life like everyone else?

She wouldn't have to constantly hold back or trap herself in a tiny, restricted box.
