Meeting Again

It was a bit of an awkward moment and Elias noticed it instantly. 

He whispered to Maddison, "You don't have to say anything you don't want to."

She was grateful for his support, but Maddison had made up her mind. There was no point in hiding the information. The media likely already knew about it. 

"Keith Walker is my father," She replied with confidence. 

"Elias, this is Maddy, isn't it? Your friend from childhood? But didn't you say she-" Henry didn't continue, confused about the present situation. 

"Apparently not. Turns out she's alive and well," Elias continued with a smile as he pulled Maddison a little closer. 

She loved being close to him, feeling his body heat pressed against her own. She was a little amused by the shocked expression on Atlas and Henrys' faces.

"And you convinced her to be your girlfriend? Impressive," Atlas remarked when he regained his composure.
