Yay, I finally caught up with the story. And I see you’ve answered my wishes, more of Ellie, and flashback from other people. Thank you very much it’s been delightful so far.
I loved the conversation between Ellie and Clark, I was just a little lost about her age, I am assuming that she is three years younger than John, and I think he was 14 when he found out, wasn’t he? So how old is Ellie at the flashback, 11?
“Well, do you ever give rides to people just for fun?” I asked, trying to be casual.
“Maybe,” he teased me in a singsong voice. “But there’s one thing you should know about my pleasure flights.”
I could just picture Clark’s smile at this. Such a sweet little scene.
“You don’t have to go, Ellie.” Her name rolled easily off my tongue and hung in the air between us like a Christmas ornament. “Ellie, you can just stay the night. C’mon, Ellie.” I squeezed her tight to my chest.
Why does Christmas ornament reminds me of Christmas three lights? Go figures.
Very good start! Sorry I’ve been out for a while.
