In the end, I took a seat. Just having a cup of coffee couldn't be that complicated, right?
Jones was looking at me. His eyes no longer had the soft look they used to. They were cold again, like they were a long time ago, revealing only the occasional hint of a smile. It was unsettling.
I took a sip of my coffee, downing it in two gulps. Then I said to Jones, "Dr. Jones, take your time. I'm going to go get some sleep."
"Eliana!" My mom knew I was evading. She looked pissed.
"Mom, can you stop pushing me?" I was feeling lousy. After saying that, I bolted upstairs.
I went for a shower. It did a world of good, then I figured I'd check out that 'Snow'. But before I could start, there was a knock on my door. Hannah was calling me for dinner, "Ms. Brooks, it's chow time."
I was peckish, but I wasn't sure if Jones had left. So, I asked Hannah, "Is Jones still around?"
