Eleanor cried until she had no tears left. She tried to break free from Halley several times to be with Garett, but Hailey held her tight, not wanting her to hurt herself.
Determined to keep Eleanor safe, Hailey finally calmed the heartbroken girl down. Unable to stand any longer, Eleanor slowly crouched down, leaning against the wall.
Hailey wanted to take Eleanor to a private room to rest, but Eleanor refused. She squatted in the corner, hugging her arms and burying her head in her arm crook.
She looked like a child abandoned by the world, left all alare.
Hailey stayed by her side, not daring to disturb her. She let the people around them leave and squalled next to Eleanor.

Hailey patted Eleanor’s shoulder, hoping to offer some comfort.
Time passed, and they stayed in the corner until a man in a suit approached.
Hailey locked up at him. Seeing his gaze constantly or Eleanor, she nervously asked who he was.
He went straight to Eleanor gently pushing her head with his slender fingers, “It’s ten o’clock, Let’s go home.”
Eleanor recognized the voice as Ethan’s but didn’t look up, staring at the flour, her eyes empty.
Ethan frowned when she didn’t respond, bent down and tugged at Eleanor’s sleeve, saying, “Crnila, let’s go home.”
Eleanor looked exhausted glanced at Ethan, and said, “I don’t want to go home today
She wanted to stay here with Haley and spend the right like this.
Hearing her words, Ethan’s face darkened slightly, I’m only gonna say it one more time, go home.”
Tears streaming down her face, Fleanor said, “Ethan, do you know that my beloved boy died?”
Upon hearing this, Ethan replied indifferently, “Didn’t tell you before? He’s already dead.”
Eleanor lowered her head, covered her eyes with her hands, and buried her head in her arm crook again. Seeing the tiny figure curled up in the corner. Ethan sighed, “Fine, take a one–day vacation.”

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
