Things became awkward. Lori didn’t know why or how it became awkward, but it had been three days and Gabriel spent all of his time at the office. She

wondered if it had anything to do with her.

She was feeling much more better. Her bruises had healed and she was no longer sore but her period came barging in like an unwanted visitor three days

ago and she got very moody too. Very moody.

Gabriel had also been arriving home so late that she was already asleep when he got into bed. She tried the first night to wait up for him but she had slept off. The next morning, he had left shortly after she woke up, offering her only a rief good morning. Lori couldn’t tell where it all went wrong.

She had asked Grace. Wondering if he had confided in the woman about something and Grace had chalked it all up to work.

“Gabriel is a very busy man. He’s just busy at work. Don’t worry yourself.”

She patted Lori’s shoulder and reassured her.

Oh well, that made her relieved, at least for a little bit. If Grace didn’t see anything wrong in his recent behavior then she had nothing to say.

Elliot was the only one who seemed to keep her company. Lori didn’t know if it was because they were close in age or he was very persistent but she found

him very easy to talk to.

And he was also giving her the right motivation she needed to apply for college. was a big step, but she knew it was something she should consider. She wasn’t going to be a nanny forever and it would be nice for her to actually finish her education.

So college, college didn’t seem like a bad idea.

It was something she could think about, something she could plan for.

“Have you played video games before?”

Elliot asked out of the blues, pulling Lori out of her thoughts.

They had been sitting in the living room, watching tv while Lori held Emilia in her arms. She wasn’t really watching the show, she had just been mindlessly staring at the television consumed with her thoughts until Elliot asked her a question.

“No. I haven’t really played one before.”

“Why?”

She asked and he shrugged.

“I was hoping we could play some.”

Lon chuckled.

“You’re bored?”

She asked and he nodded.

“This house is too damn boring. And Gabriel won’t let me bring any friends.”

“Why don’t you go out then?”

She asked and Elliot shrugged.

Ob he wished he could actually go out. But ever since that morning where Gabriel asked him to punch him, he had been acting strange. And then he had

told him to protect Lori and not leave her side.

He asked why, but Gabriel didn’t give him a straightforward answer. Elliot wondered if there was some kind of problem that Gabriel was worried about.

Either way, he had listened to him and agreed to it. Only because he was looking for a way to make Gabriel fully trust him.

Ever since his incident with his brother, Gabriel grew weary of Elliot, even though time should have told him that Elliot would never actually oppose him, or

betray him.

How could he? He was young, inexperienced with nothing but his family name. His own mother didn’t even care enough about him.

Why would he try to defend a brother whom he barely knew? Especially when he was so young.

“You haven’t actually been out in a couple of days. It’s very unusual. For you.”

Lori added and he nodded.

“Yea. My friends aren’t really in town.”

“We only meet up when we’re in town.”

He said and Lori nodded.

“Oh. Doesn’t mean you can’t go out. You look bored as hell.”

“Hey! I’m not bored. I’m with you, that’s entertaining.”

Lori scoffed.

“I’m not doing anything entertaining.”

Elliot shrugged.

“You could be.”

“I could teach you how to play video games. It’s a very important skill set that would be useful in the future.”
