Lies - Part 5

The instant the electronic gates pulled apart to let them through, Elma felt her heart burst right out of her chest. She needed to share with someone about this goodness. She could call home. Teddy or Marilyn should be expecting her to call... Had he informed the house about her leaving already? Shouldn't she have stayed on with them a minute if only to explain the situation?

Elma found her mood diminishing the moment she started to brood over Hughes. That did not last for long though.

Eddison was soon at her corner. He flew open the door, startling her. He still made no gesture to mutter any words. He merely veered around and settled back in the driver's seat again, smashing gear. He possibly needed to get the car parked in the parking garage.

Elma started toward the elegant front door and soon saw a woman walk out of it with her has to her sides.
