After Cole and Rhys safely dropped Nora at her apartment, they left her with Hugo and Wesley to stay outside the building for the night.
Nora really did avoid them because she knew that Cole would not shut up until he got the answer that he wanted.
Cole and Rhys had heard the exchange of words between Nora and Damien Roald and what they heard really did surprise them. They had known Nora ever since they were born but they never heard of her having a boyfriend, not even dating.
Though they knew her to be a flirt and a tease and once in a while sleeping with someone. And it was something that they knew didn't sit well with the men in her life. Not even to them. They felt uncomfortable with it but they knew that even though they were Nora's friend, they did not have a say in it. And they cannot judge her.
