Eric looked at his watch again. It's still two hours before lunch. His eyes were on the board, but his mind was far away from the teacher giving lessons.
Evangeline was absent today, and she didn't tell him where she was going. She just said she had an important meeting and just left.
Eric's hold on his pen tightened, and his eyes dimmed.
It's just proof that she didn't trust me fully, yet.
On the side, Daniel, too, was in a daze. Concentrate as he might, his mind was drifting away. It contained nothing but worry for Sisley.
His gaze shot to an empty desk. She was absent. As expected. He could only hope she was taking the break-up well and move on.
Though he was worried for her, he was also relieved. Now, the only concern he had was the aftermath and how to get Lilybella off his back.
