When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Nora’s sharp remark caused Tessa to flush red in embarrassment. Before Tessa could retort, Tabitha asked, “What are you guys talking about?”

“Nothing. Let’s get on the plane,” I interrupted them.

Everyone kept silent as we boarded the plane. Nora, who was still tensed, was supposed to sit at the same row as Tessa. But since she was still boiling in anger, she called for the flight attendant to change her seat. She even told the flight attendant that she’d rather die than sit next to Tessa.

The angry Tessa pointed her finger at Nora and cursed, “Don’t push it, Nora. Have you no shame?”

“Shame?” Nora retorted. “You should be the one in shame. If I were you, I’d be embarrassed to sit here after what you’ve done. Aren’t you shameless?”

“Please don’t cause a scene. Both of you, please lower down your voices,” the flight attendant asserted.

Both women finally became quiet, and Nora was granted her request to change to another seat. She was still fuming as she took her seat.

Tabitha asked curiously, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you so angry?”

“Who wouldn’t be angry at such a shameless person?” Nora barked.

“What happened? What did Tessa do?”

“Ask her yourself,” Nora snapped. Then she closed her eyes in anger and fumed quietly.

After a ten hours flight, the plane landed in A City. When we got off the plane, Nora, who couldn’t bear to be parted from me, tugged at me and said, “When are you planning to go back to K City? Let’s have a get-together in the next few days?”
