Chapter Ten

Eliza was already back when Andrew came home from work. She had cooked dinner and attempted to have a bite but the smell of food was making her feel queasy. The only thing she’d had that day was a few strawberries, and it seemed to be all that she could handle.

Andrew entered the living room, his face immediately brightening when he saw the food on the table.

“Did you cook dinner?”

“As a matter of fact, I did,” Eliza replied, her mouth twisting up at the corners.

“How come you haven’t eaten anything? Were you waiting for me?”

“I wasn’t feeling so well today so I took a day off work.”

“Oh no, you’re sick?” Andrew rushed over to her exaggeratedly. He wrapped his hand around her wrist. “I feel a pulse! I repeat, there is a pulse on this one!”

Eliza laughed, and Andrew gave her a peck on the forehead. He sat down opposite her and began to dig into the food.

For many reasons, Eliza made the decision not to tell Andrew about what really happened that day. It was a difficult decision to make, considering that they never kept secrets from one another. However, she found no feasible way to explain the fact that she had called Hayden instead of the him or the police. Furthermore, Andrew might be prompted to go over and pay Freddie a visit, and she didn’t want him to get into any trouble. Unlike Hayden, Andrew was not the type to be discreet or subtle, and she didn’t want Andrew to get in trouble with the police.

The following day, Eliza decided to visit her parents after work. Given her current circumstances, there was virtually nobody who she could talk to about her dilemma. She had never felt as emotionally distant from Andrew as she did at this very moment, and she knew that her father would understand what she was going through. After all, her parents’ relationship had often been rocky and it seemed to always be her father who had found a way to reconcile their differences when times got tough. Ironically, most of Jeanette and Martin’s arguments were technically caused by Martin’s actions. Lately, the biggest issue was Martin’s historical projects, which kept him busy with research day and night. They also often bordered on obsessive, despite the fact that they didn’t bring much money in. Eliza felt as if she was doomed to repeat her father’s mistakes, since she was now the one causing the distance in her relationship. Therefore, she knew that she must also be the one to fix things with Andrew, and she was prepared to take her father’s advice in order to deal with the situation.

Jeanette greeted Eliza at the door, smiling from ear to ear. “Darling! I am so happy to see you!”

Since Jeanette had learned to speak English from watching classic, black and white movies, her manner of speech was an interesting combination of influences. Her Italian accent was intertwined with some hints of American and British expressions, adopted from films like My Fair Lady and All About Eve.
