Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Elias caught up to her and pulled her into his arms, his eyes unusually bright. "I called you honey', and you responded!"

Ashley couldn't understand why he had followed her. "Aren't you embarrassed? We're in the middle of the street. Let go of me."

Elias hadn't realized that he was so easy to appease. He instantly felt satisfied upon hearing her words.

Then, he pulled out a listening device from his pocket and tucked it under her shirt collar. "I need to hear your conversations. If anything happens, I can come in and get you out." "He's under police surveillance right now. He wouldn't dare try anything," Ashley said. "You never know. It's not like he never thought about taking you by force," Elias said. Ashley didn't care much and allowed Elias to set up the device.
