Ellie drove back home after her very long long day and once arrived, she noticed that the light in the house was on, which only meant one thing, Nathaniel had returned. In front of the door, she had a lump in her stomach, her hands were shaking just by opening the door.
She knew they needed to talk about what happened in the conference room but honestly she didn't know what to tell him exactly. Words failed her, things that happen to her more and more often now, she who always knows what to say and who always has the last word.
She took a deep breath and with a burst of courage she opened the door, a good smell of food greeted her immediately, the house was warm unlike last night when she was there alone.
My heart skipped a beat when I saw Nathaniel standing right in front of me with an apron and messy hair and a shy smile on his face.
" Hi ! You are already here. Give me a few more minutes and the dinner will be ready ", he said shyly.
