The Educator novel Chapter 37

For the time being, my thoughts have come from left and right. I do not know where to start, where to end, where to place my mind at this moment. What has Elliot been up to? Who else has Elliot been seeing? I know this letter came from a woman, like I said, the writing was soft. The strokes were precise, the letters were written with passion. Elliot, has he been lying to me? Could it be possible that this letter came from one of Elliot’s past? How could that happen? They’re not even here. I remain in my position as I attempt to gather my thoughts. What did the note really mean? Did Elliot banish one of his exes? How did she know that we were here? What does she need from Elliot? What does she want from him? Elliot and I are just starting, why is this happening now? What have I gotten myself into?

Suddenly, there is a loud ring coming from the dinning area. It’s probably Elliot calling. I stand and take the towel from the rack. I wrap it around my body and brisk to the dinning to answer my phone.

“Elliot?” I say his name

“Why did it take you so long to answer?” he asks me

“Sorry, I was in the tub. What’s wrong?” I ask him, “Elliot, what is it?”

“Keep the note. There are police who are on their way right now. I’m coming home” he tells me.

“O-okay. Why did you involve the police again?”
