Chapter 248: Elijah

Elijah knocked on the open door of Hannah's classroom, just like he did every afternoon, to announce his entrance into her world.

She looked up, just like she did every afternoon, to murmur a distracted hello before going back to work on whatever it was that she did after school.

Except, today wasn't like every other afternoon. Today, he had a bouquet of purple-and-white daisies underneath a dirty towel on top of his cleaning cart, ready to be revealed like some sort of janitorial version of a magic trick.

He began to push his cart into the room, but in shock, he stopped and stared instead.

Outta habit, Hannah had just gone to push the bridge of her glasses up her nose, except...there weren't any glasses to push up. She was apparently wearing contacts.
