“It’s fine,” Elissa smiled. “I can find my way slowly. See, I'm okay. | just wanted to get a glass of water.”
Hadley poured a glass swiftly. “Here.”
“Thank you,” Elissa said, sipping it gently. “Was that Ernest on the phone?”
“Yeah.”

Elissa let out a soft breath. “I can’t figure him out. He got hurt with Linda, but then raced off to see you. Does he

Linda, outside the bathroom, let a faint smirk tug at her lips. “What's that supposed to mean?”
Was he dodging her over something as trivial as a bathrobe? Keeping his distance, maybe?
