339–All For Nora
Cain:
“Come, let me take you somewhere,” the woman, whose face was covered by a black veil and whose body was draped in a silk black gown, extended her arm towards me, waiting for me to hold it.
I couldn’t see her face or anything else, yet I felt a strange sense of familiarity from her. Her scent was so graceful and majestic that I could lose myself in it forever.
“But where are you taking me?” I asked, my eyes trying to catch a glimpse of her face.
“You need to see these chicks. They have fallen out of their nest; can you please take care of them?” she pointed towards a large tree, one that I felt I was no longer welcome to approach.
“But I am not allowed-” Before I could continue explaining why I couldn’t move, the door to my studio opened, and I was jolted awake. I couldn’t move, the door to my st couldn’t believe I had fallen asleep in the chair. Life is so dull now.
Although I was still healing, the memories of Nora had left me a bit weak. I was taking longer than I usually did.
“Your Highness,” the maid stood before me, a peculiar expression on her face.

For a moment, I felt like Nora would appear from behind her and welcome herself into my studio. However, I was quick to remember why that won’t be happening.
I didn’t like having guests over these days. My studio was safe, but there was still some damage from our recent chaos.
“Ugh! Bring her in,” I said, knowing who it might be. We had asked them not to visit for now, but they were so stubborn. The minute they heard we had returned, they came back.
I had seen April look around in worry at the damaged walls the other day. We had to lie and say that monsters had attacked again. Since nobody felt the earthquake or anything, we just ignored them.
The maid went away, and in came Natalya, wearing a pink dress and flashing a smile at me. I miss the lockdown.
“Babe!” The minute she rushed towards me to hug me, I stepped back and pointed my paintbrush at her.
“Why are you here?” I inquired in a bitter tone. Dealing with her had always been wild. I remembered being so annoyed when I had to date her.
“Why do you sound so upset with me?” A sad pout instantly covered her lips.
“Do you really need to ask?” I wondered if she genuinely thought I would start dating her again.

I watched big tears streaming from her eyes and her steps trembling.
“No! You won’t leave me. I love you. I promise I will not hurt her again; it was all April’s doing. In fact, Daphne, she wanted us to keep going-” There she was, not even honest with April, who was letting her stay in her home for free.

This might be a good read if it quits switching languages. It starts English then I believe maybe dutch then possibly Spanish so makes it hard to understand with not being able to read paragraphs at a time ....
