Chapter Seven
Linc
After the chili, Elora brings out a few tubs of Ben it’s best if I keep my distance.
“Have you been to any football over there?” he asks, because we used to be into football, or soccer, back in the day, and just like that, the topic of Elora is concluded.
I continue to think about her, though, even as the conversation moves on. I have a feeling I could seduce her, if I put my mind to it. I can’t help but think it would be good for her if it drags her back into the land of the living, resuscitating her, like a defibrillator for the soul. But I have to leave, and I know that’s going to be hard enough anyway for both of us, let alone if we were to sleep together.
Fraser returns with the drinks, and we don’t talk about her again. But she remains in my mind, and my heart, for the rest of the evening. And I know she’s not leaving my thoughts anytime soon.
