Elsie's POV
"What am I doing here?" I asked him as I shot to my feet.
"Elsie, please sit down."
"No, what's the time?"
"10:48 am."
"That's less than hours for the trial."
If I rushed, got dressed, and grabbed my things from the office, I would be able to make it in time. It was slim but worth the effort.
"No Elsie, you are not going."
"Why?"
"Because I can't lose you the way I lost him."
What in the crazy world was he saying? Who was he talking about and how did it concern the case?
I had never seen Albie this way, he looked distressed and for the first time since I woke, I was able to see the dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he was not sleeping well.
"Albie, this is important, I have to be there, I have everything it takes to win."
"I don't care about winning, I care only about you."
"We can't do this right now, look, I'm fine and out of danger, I need to do this for Lori."
