“You would get upset a lot when Zack and I didn’t want to play with you. I was fourteen at the time. Zack didn’t like the idea of you being seen by our friends when we played with you. I always convinced you to wait until later. You had me wrapped around your finger; you still do,” Elijah said tenderly. “I’ll have Joslyn bring some pictures over, and she can tell the stories that go with eachone.
“Now, I’m going to go get dressed. You may go do whatever it is that you do after you eatbreakfast.”
“Yes, Sir,” I said, glad I had been able to get out of answering Elijah for the time being. I was sure he’d bring it up again at somepoint.
“You don’t have to keep calling me ‘Sir’,” Elijahdemanded.
“Sorry,” I mumbled with a smallblush.
He gave me a smile before heading upstairs. I tidied up the kitchen before making my way to the living room, checking everything was clean and putaway.
