Elena found herself whistling once again as she drove up to Peyton’s house. She smiled at her good mood, got out of the car and walked up to Peyton’s door. She was about to place a nicely wrapped package for her at the side of the front door, when she heard a voice from behind.

“Oh my!”

Elena jumped, scared out of her wits.

“Well, hello there.” It was Margaret watching her as Elena was about to place the package at the front step. Margaret’s face showed nothing of the hospitality from the other day. Dressed in a severe black business suit, hair pulled tightly back, Margaret appeared cool, aloof and clearly piqued.

“You’re the photographer, right?”

“Yes...uhm, I...I was just leaving some proofs for Peyton.”

Margaret observed the beautiful wrapping. “Uh, yeah. Special delivery, eh?”

“No. I was just…I happened to be in the—”

“Oyyy, you are a newbie! That’s original.”

“You know...I’ve...really got to be going.” Elena tucked the package beneath her arm and began to walk from the house.

Margaret purposefully stood in front of her, arms crossed. “I’m not sure how much Elena has told you about us...but we’re working on our relationship. Trying to have a baby. I think you know she’s been through a lot.”

“Yes, I know she’s been through a lot.” Elena was not going to shrink from her. In her mind “a lot” happened to include Margaret’s cheating on Peyton.

“And it doesn’t help her to give her all kinds of false hope for something you and I both know will never happen.”

Elena cleared her throat, flustered. “I’m not sure what you’re insinuating—”

“Oh you know very well what I’m insinuating.”

“I...I only want what’s best for her.”

Margaret smiled. “So glad to hear that. I’ll let her know you stopped by.” She cavalierly brushed past Elena, pulled out her keys and let herself into Peyton’s house.

As Elena watched Margaret take ownership she stood a solid moment, uncertain what to think. She didn’t like the feeling that spread through her, that somehow she was less than entitled, and, suddenly, quite surprisingly, another feeling became ascendant. This last inflamed her limbs like wildfire. She was sure she’d never experienced this particular feeling until now, but here it was, in all its savage glory: Jealousy.
