When His Eyes Opened novel by Simple Silence novel Chapter 111

Chapter 111

“I don’t think the reason why Elliot won’t see Avery is that he’s upset…” Jun said. “His bodyguard told me that his face was covered in scratches from the fall. I doubt someone as proud as him would want anyone seeing him in that condition.”

“So, that’s what it is! I have to tell Avery before she overthinks things,” Tammy said, then sent Avery a text telling her what she just heard from Jun.

Avery simply replied with a smiling emoji.

Tammy: (Elliot’s birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. Have you thought about what you ‘re getting him?]

Avery: (Not yet. I don’t know what to give him.]

Tammy: (Since it’s getting cold out, you should try knitting him a sweater!)

Avery: (Are you serious? Who wears knitted sweaters anymore?!]

Tammy: (Just do it. Men like stuff like that.)

Avery: (Problem is, I don’t know a thing about knitting!)

Tammy: (The people selling the yarn would teach you! Or you could look for tutorials online You’re a smart girl. You’ll figure it out!)

Avery: (Why are you insisting that I knit him a sweater?]

Tammy: (Because men always fall for that stuff! Jun told me that he still can’t forget his first love because she knitted a sweater for him. He’s kept it all this time… It drives me nuts, but I refuse to knit him one myself!)

Avery stood puzzled in the snow as she read her best friend’s text.

She only snapped back to reality when the cab she had called earlier came to a halt in front of

her.

She arrived at her mother’s apartment with a bag of yarn in her hand an hour later.

Laura noticed the bag in her hand and asked, “Are you knitting a scarf?”

Avery’s cheeks flushed as she answered, “I’m thinking of making a sweater.”

Laura gave her a meaningful look and asked, “For whom? It can’t be for me, right? Are you knitting it for Elliot?”

“It’s for you, Mom…” Avery said, then added, “Elliot’s birthday is coming up, so I’m making one for him first. That way, the one I make for you later would be much better.”
