Ellie

After the past couple days, there is one thing I know for sure. Lee loves his Grans. He would do anything for his grandmother even if it means sacrificing his own happiness.

How can you not fall for someone who loves that deeply? It’s what I have always wanted. That kind of love is unconditional.

“Hey, what’s going through that pretty little head of yours?” Lee says, bringing both hands up to cradle my face.

After dinner, Lee collapsed on the couch, pulling me with him, and I didn’t object. But lying here, I can’t help but think about my own family. Will we ever reconcile? What happens if one of them falls ill, will they even tell me? Do they even care?

I care.

“Nothing, really.”

“It doesn’t seem like nothing.” He begins to rub slow circles on my lower back. My eyes flutter shut.

“Hey, Lee?” There is a small rap at the door before it swings open. “Mother said—”

“Dammit.” He sits up, taking me with him. “Give me a minute to take care of this.” Lee gives me a weak smile as he tucks my hair behind my ear.

“You were bringing dinner down, but if you are busy I’ll just order a pizza,” the woman continues.

“Mom, wait.” He jumps over the coffee table and heads into the kitchen. He brings back a box of food.

Mom?

“I completely forgot. You got this?” He hands the food over to her.

“I can manage.” She begins to turn and when she does, she does a double take.

“Oh my lord!” She sets the box down and walks over to me.

I’m a little confused. The last I knew, Lee wasn’t on good terms with his mom.

“Are you any relation to Anna Clark?” She takes a couple steps forward, making me a little nervous.

“Yeah. That’s my mom.” I stand. “Well, now it’s Anna Hawthorne.”

“So she’s still married to that bastard? Hmph,” she mumbles, shaking her head.

“Mom!” Lee scolds. “I think it’s time for you to go.” He opens the door.

“Pardon me. I’m just so shocked, that’s all.” She looks between me and Lee. “It’s just a small world.”

“Mom. The food.” He bends to pick it up. “You don’t want to keep Grans waiting.” He takes one step outside, I’m sure to get his mom to follow.

“You look just like her.” She turns, shaking her head again, as she follows Lee out.

“Nice to meet you,” I call after her, but Lee shuts the door, leaving me inside while they talk.

Not sure what to do, I take a seat. Waiting. A minute becomes five and five becomes ten. Laying back, I take Lee’s place and settle in.

“I’m so sorry,” Lee says as he opens the door.

“Really, it’s okay.” I begin to sit up.

“No, stay just like that.” He walks around the coffee table and climbs up toward me. “Am I too heavy?”

“Not at all. I like it,” I admit.

“Good. Me too.” He lays his head down.

“Do you want to talk about it?” I run my fingers through his hair.

“My mom came back last night.” He turns his head, resting his chin on my chest as he looks at me.
