The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Chapter 47

Go to hell! 

‘One week,’ Peach thought nervously, eyeing Elijah before picking at the green beans on her plate, feeling the silence around the table. 

A loud sigh escaped James’ lips as he rested back in his seat and then let out, “I know I said that I won’t miss those two, but now I can only think about how much it’s annoying knowing they’re not here with us…” 

A weak smile formed on Peach’s face as she focused on James and said, “Yeah, it just doesn’t feel right not having them with us… at least, one week has gone by, so we are getting closer to seeing them again.” How accurate she was with the time that had passed made Elijah’s eyes drift towards her, knowing that since the day Ryan and Rookie left he had been keeping his distance from her and trying his hardest to keep himself occupied. 

They had been staying away from each other and even though it felt strange Elijah didn’t want to admit it; he missed spending time together with her, and he hated seeing the disappointment in her eyes when their gazes locked. 

Brushing his thumb against his bottom lip, Elijah drifted into his thoughts with his focus solely on her and his mind blank. 

As Peach’s gaze darted away from James, it rested on his steady eyes and the way they stared deep inside hers. 

Uneasy, she pushed her plate, woke from her seat, and said, “I’m full.” 

Worried, Miss Grace looked at the still fill plate and then at her daughter, feeling a pang of 

guilt and heartache since she has watched the two struggle over the days to keep their promise to her and not spend time together. But she held back her tongue as she watched her daughter push the chair back and walk out of the dining room without another word. When Peach got outside the motel, she immediately noticed the filthy pickup still parked in their lot, and it took her memories back to the first night Elijah and the others booked rooms in the motel, the first night she looked into his eyes.
