Chapter Twenty-One

Elenore stared down at the beautiful bottles of perfume resting on the bathroom counter. She’d never owned perfume, or lotions, for that matter.

She carefully picked up a bottle of coconut-scented lotion and squirted some into her hand. The wonderful-smelling aroma filled the bathroom with its delicious essence.

Elenore gingerly smeared it onto her arms and face, basking in its heavenly scent.

She gazed around her in wonderment, unable to wrap her mind around the fact that everything in that bathroom now belonged to her.

It confused her that Evan would be so generous and kind without a motive. Yet, he hadn’t touched her once. In fact, he didn’t look upon her with lust in his eyes at all.

But he felt something for her. She’d picked up on the emotion a couple of times before he seemingly reeled it in.

She felt something for him as well, only she wasn’t sure exactly what. Respect was definitely at the top of the list. Gratefulness ran a close second, but anything other than that…she wasn’t capable of.

Elenore knew without question she would never be whole, never know love on the same level as others. She would never walk down the aisle or hold a child of her own in her arms. That part of her had died long ago, and somewhere along the way, Elle had been born.

Somewhere deep inside, Elenore realized that Elle had loved her all along. She’d protected her from the nightmare that had been her life and had taken the endless abuse without question. Elle had even killed for her.

Shaking off her overwhelming thoughts, Elenore left the bathroom and moved to the closet in the bedroom.

She pulled the door open and flipped on the light. There, hanging on dozens and dozens of hangers, were rows of brightly colored dresses and slacks.

Elenore’s mouth dropped open. She’d never seen so many clothes in all her life.

She moved deeper into the large closet and ran her fingers over a silky red dress. Odd that an elderly woman would wear that type of clothing.

Pulling the dress free, Elenore hurried to close her bedroom door and then slipped out of her pants and T-shirt.

She tugged the dress over her head, loving the feel of the silk slinking down her body.

She stepped in front of the mirror on the dresser, her mouth falling open in awe. The dress fit perfectly.

Elenore wanted to twirl around in a circle, but she refrained. Barely.

She pulled off the dress and hurried back to the closet to try on more.

The sound of a car door slamming brought her up short.

Elenore returned the dress to its proper hanger and then stepped into her pants and tugged on her T-shirt.

She opened her bedroom door and moved into the hall.

Evan was just coming in through the kitchen.

He sent her an exhausted smile. “How are you?”

Feeling more comfortable in his presence, Elenore admitted. “I’m okay. I love the bedroom and bathroom.”

He gifted her with another smile and headed toward the den. “Good. I’m glad to hear it.”

Elenore hesitantly followed.
