ELENA
After Sheriff Bolt left with only- I will think about it- Joanna and I sat silently with bloated bellies and empty plates on the table.
After ten minutes of pregnant silence, Joanna finally asked, "So what have you decided?"
"I don't know," I said, staring at my fingers in my lap.
"Should I ask for Mr Burke's help? I mean... if Devon Sanders has great connections then he must have them too, right?" I asked hopefully.
But Joanna didn't share the same enthusiasm for my idea as me.
"Elena have you forgotten what happened after only having a lunch with him? By asking Mr Burke's help you will split the family in two. This idea doesn't fancy me at all!" She gave her honest opinion.
I wanted to argue but wasn't she, right? No matter how much I hated Sanders... I couldn't take it out on the Burkes.
"Then I don't know what should I do!" I told her honestly.
