Joshua looked at me with a complex expression, then nodded slowly. "Thanks, Eliana."
I guessed he was starting to get it now. Like why took the muddy road when life had offered you a shortcut?
"Eliana, gotta head out." After a while, Joshua got up with the kitten to say goodbye, "Later"
"Okay, I'll drive you" I stood up too.
Joshua shook his head, "No need, I'll just grab a cab. It's too cold outside and the roads are slippery. Not safe to drive, you should stay inside."
I didn't argue, watched Joshua leave, then hugged Bonny and showered him with kisses before taking him upstairs to play the piano.
Bonny was way more behaved than Damon. He never complained when I played.
As the snow outside got heavier, I played a few tunes then took Bonny to the window to watch the snow. It was getting dark and the lights in the estate were on, casting a cold hue on the snow.
