A rush of warmth flooded Nora's chest.
Given her personality, the moment she committed to Nathan, she was fully prepared to nurture and protect their relationship.
But perhaps the scars of her past failure still lingered.
She had always defaulted to a more passive role when it came to romance.
Back then, she had believed that quietly taking care of Aaron and doing whatever she could to support him was the definition of love.
As long as he was comfortable and they weren't fighting, she assumed they were moving steadily forward.
Reality had delivered a swift, brutal awakening.
Since reuniting with Nathan, almost every major step forward in their relationship had been initiated by him.
Nora desperately wanted to do something for him in return, but she constantly found herself unsure of how to go about it.
"Nathan, is there anything you've always wanted?"
Perhaps his bold declaration had emboldened her.
Suddenly, she felt an overwhelming need to know if a man like Nathan harbored any deeply held dreams he was dying to fulfill.
"Yes."
Nathan didn't hesitate for a second.
"What is it?"
Nora studied him intently.
He was always the one taking the lead; this time, she wanted to be the one to step up.
"Are you offering to make it happen?"
Nathan's counter-question was direct, and Nora answered just as swiftly, "If it's in my power."
Nathan chuckled softly. "Oh, you definitely have the power."
Nora looked at him in surprise. "So what is it?"
She had a vague inkling of where this was going, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
