I carefully watched as Elio’s car pulled out of the driveway just as I’d gotten out with my bag on my shoulder. I gave him one last reassuring smile before turning to head inside.
He told me that he had plans for me....
I wasn’t completely sure what that entailed, but from the suggestive look he gave me, my insides fluttered with interest at all the possibilities. I was desperate to hold onto that wondrous and desirable feeling for as long as I could.
But in the meantime, I was left to my own thoughts and feelings. I was glad to have the chance to spend some real time with Elio before he’d gotten sucked back into work, though the danger that surrounded everyone felt like it was circling in on us.
God, how I wished I were better at hiding my emotions like him. I couldn’t even begin to understand how Elio was able to bury his emotions for the time being and go about his business as though nothing major had just happened.
