At that, Darnell glanced at the blood on his sleeve and explained, "It's not mine."
Elaine was stunned, tears hovering in her eyes, not falling, "Huh?"
Darnell spoke lightly, "It was Ariel who was hurt."
Elaine said in a rush, "Then she ......"
"Archer went for it."
Elaine didn't know what to say for a moment and took a few steps forward to lean against the wall and stand next to Darnell.
The hallway was quiet, and all you could hear was the growing rain behind you.
I do not know how long it took, Elaine hand over the mouth, a shallow yawn, eyes somewhat open.
Darnell looked over at her, "Still not going home?"
"I ...... I'll wait for Archer, my friend fainted at night, and he was the one who sent her to the hospital, so ......"
"He should be a long time."
Elaine hung her head and whispered, "Then I'll wait, too."
Darnell looked at the time, it was 2:00 am.
He said, "I have things to do."
Darnell had just taken a step when his coat was pulled by the corner.
He looked back and Elaine looked at him accusingly, "Actually, I wanted to stay with you."
Darnell was silent for two seconds and slowly spoke, "Elaine, your father should have told you that staying around me would be dangerous, and now you've seen it for yourself. So, go back to your own world."
Instead of letting go, Elaine clenched her hand: "You promised me that I could meet you in the restaurant if I needed anything, but now it doesn't count?"
"You can go to me if you have something, but you should know exactly where the line is."
"So are you drawing the line with me again now?" Elaine sniffled, "I know it's dangerous to stay by your side, but ...... but I'm not afraid, don't you push me away ok ......"
The tears instantly slipped from her eyes, like beads on a string, and could not be stopped.
Darnell turned and took her in his arms, his hand resting gently on the back of her head, not speaking, not knowing what he was thinking.
Elaine obediently wrapped her arms around his waist and choked: "No matter how long it takes, I can wait, I can also not see you all this time, I will obediently wait for you to come to me ...... even if it is a year, three years, five years, ten years... ..."
"Have you ever thought about what you would do if you liked someone else in the future."
Elaine hugged him tightly, "No way."
Darnell said: "Elaine, human feelings are very complex things, and so on time, you may be bored, or perhaps be attracted to new things. But once, you are involved in the danger, there is never a day to turn back. Do you understand?"
"I understand, but the feelings are also uncontrollable, I like you, see you will be very happy, and stay with you will also be happy, can not see you will miss you, more will be sad ......"
Halfway through the day, Darnell let her go, "I'll walk you back."
Elaine wiped her tears and nodded sobbingly.
On the road, Elaine leaned back in the back seat, not knowing when she fell asleep.
Darnell looked at her, his thin lips slightly pursed.
Outside the car window, the sound of rain is dull and busy.
The car pulled up in front of the cottage and Darnell opened the back seat door and bent down to carry Elaine upstairs to her room.
After putting the person in bed, he had just left the bedroom when hesaw Franklin, who had been woken up.
Franklin looked at the blood on his shirt and frowned, "What happened to Elaine."
Darnell pulled the door to his room shut, his expression unchanged: "Asleep."
