Bab 379: Pursue

Nora raised an eyebrow as she stared at Ian standing on her door with a mischievous grin on his face. Narrowing her eyes, she looked at the large bouquet of flowers in his hand and leaned against the frame," You playing delivery guy for Demetri now?"

Ian frowned," Huh? No."

Nora frowned then,"What is with the flowers then?"

Ignoring her question, Ian reached into a pocket and pulled out a small box, presenting it to her with an exaggerated flourish. His grin widened, and Nora couldn't help but shudder playfully, taking a step back.

"Who are you?" she quipped, trying to close the door in his face.

Ian, undeterred, stuck a foot in the doorway, preventing her from shutting him out completely. "I come in peace, bearing gifts!" he declared with mock seriousness.

Nora burst into laughter, unable to resist his infectious enthusiasm. "Alright, delivery guy with a twist, what's in the box?" she asked, genuinely curious now.
