And at 3:47 PM, when everyone except Eli and me had left the conference room, I realized the two-week agreement had technically expired. "So," I said. "So," Eli said. "I'm done pretending this is professional," I said. "I've been done for days. But I'm officially done as of right now." "Good," Eli said. "I want to take you to dinner," I said. "Actual dinner. Not professional dinner. The kind of dinner where we acknowledge that I'm falling in love with you and I have absolutely no framework for how to handle that." Eli smiled. "Yeah?" he said. "You're ready to say that?"

I’m starting to realise I am going to seriously need to readjust my thinking now. As I am lying in Leos arms later, drifting into a delightful sleep, despite knowing the elders are coming tomorrow ,I decide not to be afraid of tomorrow but to embrace it. I think about how I don’t know what’s coming and worrying about it wont change it, it will just make sure I enjoy everything else less and I want to fully enjoy this moment. Feeling more positive I fall asleep with a ghost of a smile on my face.

~ If only tonight, If this is all I got, If I can't have your love, I won't get back up this time. If only tonight, I'll race you to the sun, before the morning comes, if I can change your mind. It's only tonight, and tomorrow you're gone, and we're just a song, singing along...~ Music blasted on the speakers. She sang along with the song, driving down the gravelly road. The wind rushed in through the open windows, blowing her auburn hair around. The road was surrounded by a thick forest on either side.

I stood in the kitchen, dicing some vegetables for the food I was cooking for dinner. I had gotten my first pay just yesterday, and used a small amount for the groceries we needed at home. Everything has just been so strange these past few days. It was nearly as if a magical wand had touched my step father.

"God, you two look like you’ve been through a shipwreck. Again." ​"How are you standing?" I asked, grabbing a coffee like it was a holy relic. ​"Practice," Mateo said, sliding his glasses down his nose. "And a very expensive IV drip at 6:00 AM.

He couldn't join her today because he couldn't risk leaving the unknown guest alone. Just as he was about turning to go back inside, he saw Lily. She had something in her mouth. A small backpack. She dropped it at his feet before walking inside. He picked it up and walked inside. After giving Lily a snack for her services, he opened the bag carefully.

Nothing else was in the bag but amongst the wraps of granola bars, he noticed a small name tag depicting one name ... Kamara.

he asked softly as I relaxed in his loving hold. "The shrimp pasta, extra sauce on mine," she mumbled sounding tired "Do you want us to end call so you can get some sleep?" Jason asked "No just end it when I fall asleep," she told us closing her eyes completely making me smile at soft she had become unknowingly.

"Where did you buy a couple's quiz?"

"No!" She answered, annoyed. "Oh shit, sorry man! I promise it won't happen again." His eyes gleamed with sincerity and guilt, and for a flash second, I felt as if they had something going on or they shared something in the past.
