Chapter Thirteen

Elvi woke Monday evening with a smile on her face as she stretched luxuriously in her lovely new bed.

Sunday had been a great day. She'd woken late and gone below to find that her bed had been delivered.

Not willing to disturb her, they'd made the delivery men put it in the foyer to await her rising.

The moment she made an appearance, they'd moved her coffin out and carried her bed up. When asked

what she wanted done with the casket, Elvi had grimaced and muttered, "Burn it." The men had taken her

at her word. While Victor and Edward had set up the plain metal frame that came with the bed,

Alessandro and Harper had taken axes to her coffin, turning it into tinder.

They'd then built a fire, roasting hotdogs over the flaming remains of her casket. When it began to rain

later in the evening, Elvi and the men had moved indoors and turned to a deck of cards for their

entertainment. On learning that Elvi had never played poker, they'd decided to teach her and they'd spent

an enjoyable evening laughing, talking, and taking all her chips.

Elvi stretched again on her lovely new bed and opened her eyes with a little sigh. While Sunday had

been nice for the most part, she'd found it a bit stressful as well—as she worked to avoid being alone

with Victor. It had been an act of pure cowardice on her part. She didn't know how she should act

around him after the episode in the kitchen and so avoided any situation where she couldn't treat him as

anything but one of the " guys."

Now she had another day of doing that ahead of her.

Making a face at the ceiling, Elvi reluctantly pushed the sheets off and climbed out of her lovely new bed.

She'd slept like a dream.Too well actually. Elvi had hoped to get up early enough today to spend some

time out in daylight for the first time in five years. She'd hoped to look over her garden and enjoy the sun

on her face, but could tell from one glance at the window that the sun had already set.

It was her own fault, Elvi supposed; she'd retired to her room early, but stayed up waiting for Mabel and

DJ to get home from the restaurant so she could finally talk to the woman. She'd never got the chance on

Saturday night. DJ simply hadn't left Mabel's room, from what she could tell. At least he hadn't by the

time she'd given up and fallen asleep. Then Sunday the couple had already been up and gone when she

got up. Hopefully, she'd get the chance to talk to her today. Elvi could use some advice on how to deal

with Victor. She couldn't avoid him indefinitely.

Elvi didn't bother drying her hair when she got out of the shower, instead she simply brushed it back and

left it to dry on its own, then quickly dressed in a peasant blouse and festive cotton Mexican skirt and

headed below. Normally, she'd be heading to the restaurant tonight, but she wasn't sure at this point what

would be expected of her.
