#Chapter 51: The Dinner

Moana

Friday evening came much more quickly than I expected. I was nervous for my dinner with Ethan, more so because of the constant looming threat of Edrick finding out and getting upset than anything.

I found Selina in the kitchen that morning and decided to tell her about my plans, since we had an understanding between us now and I knew I could trust her.

“Selina,” I said, walking up to her. “I hope it’s alright if I go out for dinner tonight. Will you be able to check on Ella while I’m gone?”

“That’s fine,” Selina said, not prying about who I would be dining with. She had been much more open toward me since she had learned about the pregnancy, and it was a comfort. “I’ll make sure Ella gets to bed, but just be back by ten o’clock. Don’t forget that Ella has training in the morning.”
