“Got it. It’s just…” Letitia said, “I don’t have a dress for it.”

Elgin leaned back, eyes half-closed, eyeing her.

“Letitia, do you remember the first time we met?”

She hesitated, then nodded, “Yeah.”

“You’re Dr. Sanders daughter?”

“Yes.. yes

“Letitia Sanders?

“Yes

“Good” Elgin stood and approached, “Come with me.”

And that’s how he took control of her. So much so… she never got to say goodbye to Vidonia.

Elgin suddenly snorted, Tonight. I’ll take you shopping. Now, get out!”

He realized Letitia was still the same as when they first met, no big changes. She wasn’t crazy, not numb with despair, like a flower blooming among thorns, even more beautiful.

She shed her schoolgirl innocence for a woman’s allure, curves in all the right places.

Elgin closed his eyes, shaking the mess from his mind.
