Chapter 13 OFFERING HELP

• I wake up to the ringing sound of my phone buzzing. If I had some busybody nosy friends, I would have probably rolled my eyes and ignored the call, or act like an arrogant bitch and switch the damn gadget off. But that is not case-never has been. I have no friends at all. This call can only be either from Jerol's parents or his friends who have been calling to ask how he is doing.
• I pull myself away from my Jerol cautiously, without alarming him. The peaceful sight of his cute face when he is sound asleep like a toddler is something that the ordinary eyes of a normal woman can't fail to recognize. I would stare and even droll over him the whole day like this - if only he can remain this peaceful all day through. How I wish..ooh, just how I wish...
• He slept soundly last night because he believed his Ellie was with him. Ellie, wherever you are, come back to this man's life.
