Ella felt her cheeks flush when Jeremy said he noticed she'd had a frequent visitor. Mr McCree did come over with some frequency but that was because she worried he was alone too much and he was so good with Maximillian. She hid some of her embarrassment by taking a sip of her tea in the hopes that the redness would fade.
"Mr McCree has been quite helpful in looking after Maximilian," she explained, feeling that she owed Jeremy that much. "I worry he is too lonely, truthfully. There are those from his world here, but he seems to not speak with them. If he is not at work or at events I invite him to, he is at home. It just seems...unfair." She didn't know how else to put it. She just thought he deserved to be every bit as happy as anyone else in Madison Valley.
It dawned on her then that he might not approved. "Is it- a problem that Mr McCree is here frequently?" Ella asked hesitantly. She was worried he might say that there was.
