TO BE AIRED YES
Elinora had been able to guide the woman gently from Lystrom's workplace the other day. Perhaps not very gently. It hadn't been the easiest thing she'd done in her life, but she'd said she was going to do it and do it she had. She was fairly good at doing things when she put her mind to them. She wasn't very shy, nor did she hang in the back and wait for someone to pull her forward. But she wasn't moving forward towards Lystrom. Not really. She'd said her hellos, inquired about his health. She'd nodded at him from afar when their paths didn't cross and there was only the blink of eye contact. But she'd never brought up the Ireland affair, or his birthday (he never did tell her how it had all gone about). It was quite sad for her, really. He'd been a very good friend from their first few meetings. She'd never felt shy around him or embarrassed of anything. Even now, she didn't. But she had a hesitation that she'd never wanted. There was a lack of certainty that she felt. Elinora didn't want to believe that their friendship was over (a close one, in her experiences), and yet he seemed uninterested in bringing things back the way they were. And Elinora knew from her experience with Lystrom that it wasn't wise to ask him to account for the state of things, nor to lay any expectations upon him. Though, maybe it was time to do a little more than say hello. She saw him coming from the direction of the registrar's office, Bark on his tail. She took the little treat she'd saved for the cat and rubbed it between her thumb and her pointer as the two of them came closer. "'Lo, Lee," she called, waving at him. She knelt toward the ground with the treat held out to the cat, but she glanced up and offered a smile for the human who accompanied him. "Did she come back?" |
