Chapter 212 - Styling seesion (2) (2/2)

Sarah smiled and checked the time it was 5:30. She could tell Aiden that she is done or wait for him half an hour. She was sitting in a private lounge area and decided to text Aiden that she is done. Before she sent the text, Nori approached her. ”Can I join you?”

”Sure”, Sarah gestured that she can sit. Seeing that Sarah has company, Nana excused herself and told Sarah to call her if she needs anything.

Nori looked sophisticated in a simple tan long dress which had a large yellow crystal broch holding a drape that ran from her right shoulder to her left hip, and from there it fell free.

”You look like you are going to a party.” Nori observed.

”Yes. You look about the same.” Sarah smiled.

”Are you excited about the party?”

”Yes and no.” Seeing that Nori is curious, Sarah explained. ”It's my boyfriend brother's birthday. I don't know his family or friends, so I'm going with a mix of emotions, not knowing what to expect.”

”You don't think that they will treat you badly?” Nori raised her eyebrow. She was amused to see Sarah insecure. That clashed with her breathtaking appearance.

Sarah smiled and shook her head. ”I don't form opinions in advance.”

”My intention is not to be nosy. I hope you don't think that.” Nori waved her hands defensively. ”I have some time before my ride comes, so I thought that we can get to know each other a bit.”

Sarah shrugged. ”Sure, no problem... But I need to warn you that I'm socially awkward. So, if I don't ask you a question back, that does not mean that I don't care.”

”What socially awkward? I think you are just fine.” Nori looked at her kindly.

”Ha! I can add you as 8th... maybe 9th person who thinks that way.” Sarah shook her head.

Nori's expression softened. ”I thought you have a lot of friends.”

”Not at all. But thank you for lifting my spirits up.”

”OK... let me ask you few questions. Can I?” Nori's lips showed a faint smile.

Sarah shrugged and nodded. She didn't mind.

”What is your favorite season?”

Sarah thought that it was a strange question but wanted to be polite, so she answered. ”I like all of them... summer is warm and great for beach, fall brings the explosion of colors, in winter everything looks clean and I love skiing, and spring is great for hiking. If I need to pick one, the other three will cry.” Sarah laughed.

”OK... that was a warmup. Now for some more serious questions. Are you ready?” Nori's eyes lit up.
