"How do you like the paint job on your new car?" Ellit asked as he played with my fingers, seemingly lost in thought. After Daniel had said that he could spend the night, I had driven us with the supervision of Elliot, to his place where he told Lillian and Em that he was spending the night at my place as he rushed to his room to pack up, leaving me alone with Lillian and Emani.
To say that I had felt out of place when he had left me would be an understatement.
"Are you Eli's boyfriend?" Emani had asked just after Elliot left. I had been speechless as hell because I didn't know what exactly she knew about us and I hadn't known what to say at that moment but thankfully Lillian had come to my rescue.
"Em, you can't be asking such personal questions," Lillian had scolded and sighed. "That's not how we raised you."
