Chapter 18: Between a rock and a very hard surface

• Elena’s P.O.V:
• I watched the color drain out of Knight’s face as soon as I told him who might be at the door, but as much as I wanted to feel sorry for him, I kinda felt like he deserves this. Oh, who am I kidding? He definitely deserves this and so much more. Serves him right.
• I took off my mitts and went over to the couches where I had placed my shrug and pulled it on real quick while Knight stood frozen beside the kitchen counter. To be honest, it was his fault for arriving unannounced. Kareena and I had made plans a couple days earlier when we’d been texting each other and she’d found out about my side-job. I’d sent her a few sample pictures of my work that she’d loved and she’d asked if she could buy one from me. It was a painting of a woman standing under a tree with a child in her arms. I had drawn t a while back but since I had a picture of it saved up in my phone, I’d sent it to her. Kareena had said it was perfect for her since she was pregnant too and wanted to place it in her bedroom and how could I have let down a client?
