The conversations

It only took a day for Alyssa to cave and ask Elias to meet her at the coffee shop again.

She needed to know more about what all was going on. It was a bit weird that Stella decided to come out of the shadows now when all this stuff was going on.

If she wanted to compete with Alyssa, she would be competing with herself instead.

All that Alyssa wanted was information so that she knew how to handle Stella if she came around again.

Alyssa sat in the back corner of the coffee shop, holding a latte close to her as she stared at the lid.

She didn't even know how to start the conversation when Elias got here.

She didn't want to sound jealous or anything. There were so many people from Elias' life coming into her life, and she didn't know anything about them.

Elias never told her anything, so he owed her an explanation now.
