Weybridge Academy: The Complete Series

“Damn it, Frank, can’t you see I’m in love with you?” she gasped. The whole table remained still and silent, and neither Frank nor Norma seemed to notice there was anyone else in the room. I couldn’t believe she’d finally laid her feelings for him bare like that. Given Frank’s blank and completely shocked expression, it was a surprise to him too. Norma looked ready to storm off, but Frank reached out and grabbed her hands. “Norma, darlin’, can’t you tell I’ve been in love with you since the day I met you?” he replied. “What?” She sounded breathless, and she kept opening and closing her mouth as she struggled to form a response. It must have been the first time in her life she’d been close to speechless. Frank slowly stood from his chair, still holding Norma’s hands. “The coffee isn’t the only reason I come here every day. Norma, I love you.” “Oh, you fool,” she said. “Why didn’t you say something?” “I didn’t know whether you’d feel the same way.” “Well, now you do. Frank, I love you too.” A second later they stepped into each other’s arms and kissed. The table erupted with cheers and whistles, but the two of them still barely noticed us as they lost themselves in a kiss years in the making. It was impossible not to be overwhelmed with joy at the sight of the pair finally together. I turned to look at my mom, and she winked at me as she clapped along. “Wow, I guess you were right about your mom’s turkey,” Cress murmured to me.
