Escaping from home.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Elliot sudden prys. I tilted my head to stare at Elliot.

I sighed, staring straight at the road through Elliot's car windscreen as he drives me back to the house. I have decided to take the day off. I will work from home today.

Realizing I wasn't ready to talk about Mrs. Smith's confessions, he reverted his concentration on the road.

"You could eat your muffins," he suggested

I eye the muffins in the brown paper bag and smiled.

I shake my head. "I will save that for lunch"

"Okay." He nods.

"I am scared," I blurted out, admitting my fear.

His eyes glistened with worry. He reach out and held my hand. "Don't be scared I am here."

 I smiled at him.

"What makes you scared April?"
