A Dangerous Game

"Are you sure you'll be fine here?" Elizabeth asked again for the fourth time after she finished packing up her things before she left for home.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine. And besides, Trish is still here to help me close up," Alex answered while she was washing the dishes in the kitchen. The stay-in new helper who was supposed to close the cafe was on her day off so it was Alex who was going to close the cafe for Elizabeth which she doesn't mind even if that meant she had to work overtime.

Elizabeth put her bag on her shoulder. "You can stay in the guest room upstairs after closing the cafe. I worry about you going home alone at night especially if you are just going to walk," Elizabeth said.

Alex chuckled and shook her head. "You worry unnecessarily. Mason is going to pick me up. Don't worry," She said with a wink.
