Katie went home with Nora.

Nora was quiet during the car ride home and replied to whatever conversation Katie had started. They got to Katie's place, and Nora walked Katie to the door.

"You didn't have to walk me to the door, Nor..." before Katie could finish her sentence, Nora hugged her.

"I have missed you so much, Katie, and we don't hang out as much anymore," Nora explained in a sad tone.

"I'm sorry, Nora; you know I have been busy. I promise I will try to spend more time with you." Katie Hugged her more deeply.

The two women embraced and looked at each other as though time had stopped. Katie was lost in Nora's beautiful brown eyes. They looked back at her intently. She felt Nora's breath on her cheek, and the heat that emanated from her body, the scent of vanilla, was distinguishable. Nora's lips were wet with her red lip gloss; it was a prize to be tasted only inches away. Nora seemed to be pleading with her eyes to be taken; before Katie could claim her reward, Nora broke their embrace as though coming out of a trans.

"I... I should get going," Nora stuttered her words, flustered by the moment.

"Thank you for walking me to the door, smartypants, and I promise to hang out with you more often" Katie tried to ease the tension, still feeling the heat of the moment they shared.

"I would like that," Nora said with a smile before she returned to her car.
