His Eagle Eyes on Me

The car sped past Avery, leaving a trail of dust.

She lifted her head and saw the blurry tail lights of the Rolls-Roice in the darkness. 1

Was that Elliot's car? 1

She wiped the tears off her face, calmed herself down, and walked toward the house.

She saw the car parked in the courtyard when she arrived.

She waited outside in hopes of going in after Elliot had gone to his room.

Her eyes stung. She looked up at the stars shining brightly in the night sky.

It was a beautiful spring night, i

Before she knew it, she had been standing outside for an hour. 3

The driver had already moved the car into the garage.

Avery felt normal, so she walked slowly into the house. 2

On the veranda on the second floor, Elliot, dressed in a grey robe, was sitting in his wheelchair. The last dregs of wine sat at the bottom of his wine glass.

He had watched Avery the entire hour that she had stood outside in the cold. 1

He could not figure out the thoughts that would lead her to spend an entire hour out in the cold. She was so still that she could have easily blended in with the trees that stood next to her. 3

Elliot had met countless intelligent minds in his lifetime because they were the only people worthy enough to stand by his side. 2

However, Avery was an exception.

He did not consider her bright because she had provoked him despite knowing what kind of man he was.

She was an extremely foolish woman. 3

Seeing her miserable, however, affected his mood in a peculiar way.

It was a feeling that he had never felt before.

Avery's head felt heavy by the time she got to her room. 3
