Chapter 4

"Nora!"

Even with her body cushioning the blow, the impact still made my head spin.

I vaguely saw them running toward me, my brain completely short-circuiting.

Nora?

She wasn't supposed to show up for another week, but the feeling of her beneath me was too real to deny.

"Hey, don't pass out on me, alright?"

Nora's crisp voice rang right next to my ear.

I snapped fully awake. It really was Nora, missing for three months.

Hearing her joke, Ethan and Julian assumed she was in pain from my weight. Ignoring my injuries entirely, they roughly hauled me off her.
