Chapter 45 — Coincidence?

• Laura couldn't believe her eyes, all this while and he was here! She was uncannily out of character when she rushed towards him and hugged him so tightly, despite the thorns that stood between the two of them, she drew back from him after she realized that he had put just a hand on her back in a friendly pat that in doubt irked her, she got so furious that here she was feeling foolish and he had decided to run off with no note of what he was doing or where he was going, she drew back and slapped him. It shocked her that she was capable of it and it shocked Nicolas that she had done so.
• "You left me! You left me to worry! You left me to do what?! What would your father say,huh! What would he say if he knew about your little escapade and attention seeking ceremony that you so constructed, what is wrong with you!" She shrieked after the sting from the slap had subsided. She hadn't even noticed that there was a third person there with them, she only saw him. He was the only thing that was important.
