Adeline was enjoying breakfast in the dining hall, enjoying her food, when she saw Elias was texting someone. She wondered who it was, but he slid his phone away and met her curious eyes.
"I'm telling Weston to check if Dorothy is in her tower," Elias said.
"You can leave my side, it's alright," Adeline responded.
Adeline didn't want to feel like she was weighing him down. He was always at her side, and she was beginning to worry if there was something he urgently needed to do. Elias simply smiled and pushed the morning soup closer to her.
"I'm serious," Adeline said. "Stella and Evelyn are always by my side. It'll be fine."
Elias glanced at her secretary and publicist who were standing by the door of the dining hall. They were discussing something, most likely about her next speech in regards to an update of her condition.
