Nora's answer
George desperately wanted to run away just hearing that phrase but his legs moved forward when she gestured for them to sit on the sofa. His heart was beating wildly, does he really have to go through this? He could guess her answer comprised of two letters.
"So, I wanted to get this out of the way. Will you please listen to everything I have to say?" She asked.
Everything? He groaned internally but nodded instead.
"Earlier, what you said to me, I feel that it was a bit too sudden, practically out of the blue. I tried to find reasons why you could have asked that of me but only came up with one. Now, don't take this the wrong way or be offended but it's how I see things: I think your time spent with Sister Harper may have influenced that decision. "
"You think I made that decision having the mindset of 'life is too short' because of her?" He confirmed.
She nodded. "So my answer is no."
