Chapter 5

The initial shock of Henry and Ophelia’s arrival left Elliot’s face surprisingly fast. He strode over to them and clapped Henry on the back in a fatherly way before turning to Ophelia.

“Who let you up here?” He demanded – voice blistered with anger.

“Your housekeeper. Come on, Elliot; don’t tell me your own siblings can’t pay a visit.” Ophelia’s feigned innocence is almost convincing. I gently hopped off the chair and walked over to them. To my surprise Elliot reached out and swept me to his side – his broad arm at my back.

“Not unannounced they can’t. And I thought Henry was with mom today?” Elliot’s face was made of concrete which only seemed to entice Ophelia further.

“Mom had an appointment. May I use your bathroom?” She asked voice sickeningly sweet. Her dimples are even more prominent than Elliot’s. Elliot nodded reluctantly and gestures to the hallway to our left. Ophelia trotted off. I watched her hair bounce in sequence with her six-inch clanking heels.

My attention is brought back to those nearest me by Henry, leaning forward and touching my hair by my face. Elliot roughly breathes out.

“Henry, this is Clara. Clara this is my younger brother Henry.”

Elliot had told me when we first met that his brother had the family estate in Moldova – yet how this was possible I could not understand. Henry stood taller than Elliot by two or three inches, with the same caramel waves. His eyes were a sparkling green though.

The vacant look in his face, the bemused smile and the lax way he stood were undeniably of someone who was not fully mentally functioning. His green eyes twinkled to me as he smiled the softest smile I had ever seen. It was magnificent to witness such easy kindness.

“Hi there Henry.” I said, holding out a hand to Henry. Henry looked at it confused for only a moment before grasping my hand and instead of shaking it; he massaged the skin there in soft little circles.

I smiled a crinkly, beaming smile to him.

“Clara?” Elliot said. “I think you should go, and take those photos.”

With that I was snapped back into business.

“She already has them.” I said quietly, casting a look down the hall where Ophelia had disappeared.

“I don’t doubt that she does.” Elliot agreed, his eyes dark. “Henry, Clara is going to leave now.” He spoke clearly and Henry nodded, his smile never wavering.

I turned and picked up my coat and bag. Elliot quickly stuffed the photos back into the envelope and handed them me.

“I can let myself out.” I want to be gone before Ophelia returned and I could hear the clacking of her heels in the distance.

I sped from the building, buzzing Charlie from the top of the elevator, praying he’d be ready.

*****

I didn't see Elliot for a week, our only communication took place in the curt replies I received from the queries about the case I sent him via email, where his secretary is CC’d.

I didn't try and contact him outside of work.
