"You should start calling me Janna, now that I"m not your doctor anymore . " Wu pulled on a jacket and lead Nolan outside . It was raining so they both pulled up their hoods . "It"s tiring having people being amazed by my credentials and say they want to be just like me . I don"t even want to be like me . I don"t understand people anymore than I understand myself . "

"I feel the same . I"m always tired of having people referring to me as the teaching a.s.sistant when I go out . I can"t mess up or doing anything fun . " Nolan peeked at her from the shadow of his hood . "What would I look like if I was just enjoying college?"
She looked at him with a soft smile as she pulled an umbrella out above the both of them . "Everyone has their what ifs, I always look at my own reflection and think the same . My mother would have been so happy for me to marry a somebody instead of a n.o.body . But then I wouldn"t be who I am today . Looking in that direction will bring me nothing . I have regrets too . But that road is closed to me now . I am no longer young or pretty . I"m old . Who would want me now? I"m too broken for a marriage and I have no interest to raise a brood of someone else"s children . "
Janna raised a hand so a yellow cab would stop . She opened the door to the cab and ushered Nolan inside . As Nolan sat on the vomit stained leather, he felt his heart beating quickly as her hand brushed his as she sat next to him . She shook the umbrella outside before setting it across from him so he wouldn"t get wet . This woman was one of the strongest people he had ever met in his life . Romance was something she had given up on completely so he knew the task that he was up against was a steep climb . She did take care of herself still, but to think an opportunity was open to her would take some time . He was glad though that she was open to being friends .
It was a start . Not perfect . Not with a fresh pair of eyes . The eyes he wanted were weary and hospital ward worn . Her hands touched his very softly . Nolan didn"t know if it was by coincidence or if she really was flirting with him . He knew that a lot of their attraction had been in his head . He looked out at the buildings that they were imposingly large against the dark sky . Nolan tried to look at her without drawing her gaze . Her face was harsh with delicate angles and beautiful lines . She did have deep wrinkles under her eyes and her hair was streaked with highlights of gray . She was a strange, beautiful otherworldly creature that was on a different level than him in more ways than one . She was tolerant of his presence in her life, for now . But what if he wanted more?Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
