Chapter 34
Helen
"Hi Elizabeth." I smiled that smile that was only reserved for those I actually liked. Elizabeth is different from other people I have encountered in my life. There is something about her aura that drew me closer to her.
She stood up from her seat and rounded the island. Her arms were spread wide, offering me a hug. I obliged and opened my arms as we engulfed each other in a hug that lasted a little too long for my liking. She broke the embrace and caressed my check the way a loving mother would.
"How are you, my dear? How is Bernard? Liam informed me that he had finally woken up." I cleared my throat before responding.
"He is doing alright, Elizabeth but there is a little problem." She pulled out of the embrace and gestured for me to sit beside her. We settled into our seats and she waited for me to speak.
