His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 1856

Avery returned home and called Layla to let her know that she got home safely. She then headed to the bathroom to run hot water for a bath.

She had been tense the entire day while she was in Elliot's house, and she felt like he was monitoring her every move.

She set her phone down on the nightstand and went over to the closet to get her pajamas while replaying all the events of the past.

It was a pleasant day.

"You don’t have to if you prefer to be alone.” Lilith handed him the glass. "You can wait until you are sixty."

Ben accepted the glass and downed it. "I don't like being alone as much and seem to grow more and more fond of the crowd.

Maybe I'm really growing old!"

He handed her the empty glass and she accepted it while studying the dazed look on his face. "Can you stop staring at me? I know you want me to stay and be your nanny for free..."
