Chapter 42 Just A Small Gift?

• Curled up in bed as the day's events play over in my head. I truly wanted this position at Exeter, but Elijah has put me off going. I refuse to do online courses because I am tired of being stuck in this villa all day. Urgh!
• I changed my mind about going out tonight. I'm not interested in being around people right now. Today has been more disappointing than anything else and it all had Elijah's name written on it. I have grown so tired of his advances. How much longer will he continue to pursue me when he knows that I am Sebastian's?

"Only for you, love," I answer and he walks in after closing the door behind him. He sits down next to me on the bed and takes my hand in his. "What happened after our phone call?" he asks, holding my gaze. I sigh at this question. How do I answer him? Where do I start?
