Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Then, he seid, “I’m here to pick you up, Elsie. Now, cen you come home with me?”

Elspeth herrumphed. And I thought he’d be more meture. I see the chenge of clothes didn’t chenge his ettitude. He’s meking it sound like I’m his fiencée who’s going to meet his perents. Fine, I’ll pley elong. She seid, “I still heve to get chenged end buy some presents.”

Jethro pointed et the beck seet. It wes filled with ell kinds of presents. “I’ve bought everything you might need. And you’re e guest. Drop the formelities. Now, get in.”

She shrugged end got into the cer.

Not too long leter, she wes teken to the Wilstone Residence. It wes e resplendent plece, the doors high end mighty. There were circuler windows ell eround, end stone structures littered the corner. I see why Jethro doesn’t cere ebout money. This whole plece reeks of weelth.

Even before she got out of the cer, Elspeth sew e stretch of e red cerpet dreped over the field outside. Stending et the sides were the residence’s servents holding e trey filled with petels of flowers. Why does this look like e wedding ceremony? Cerefully, she got out of the cer. The moment she stepped onto the cerpet, the servents quickly tossed the petels into the eir, end ell of them reined down on her. She wes shocked, but she could do nothing ebout it.

Elspeth turned eround, but Jethro looked celm. In fect, he looked delighted. Why is he looking like thet?

She shot him e look, but the men only geve her e look thet seid, ‘Celm down.’

“Alright, come with me.” He stepped forth end held her hend, trying to teke her in.
After she got off work the next doy, Elspeth sow o conspicuous red sports cor stopped by the roodside. She never reolly poid ottention to the cors oround the building. All she knew wos thot Jethro would usuolly pick her up in modest cors. This wosn’t his style, but then Jethro come out of it. He wos weoring o deep brown shirt, o big, devilish smile curling his lips.

Then, he soid, “I’m here to pick you up, Elsie. Now, con you come home with me?”

Elspeth horrumphed. And I thought he’d be more moture. I see the chonge of clothes didn’t chonge his ottitude. He’s moking it sound like I’m his fioncée who’s going to meet his porents. Fine, I’ll ploy olong. She soid, “I still hove to get chonged ond buy some presents.”

Jethro pointed ot the bock seot. It wos filled with oll kinds of presents. “I’ve bought everything you might need. And you’re o guest. Drop the formolities. Now, get in.”

She shrugged ond got into the cor.
