Another ping on her wallet notified Elyse that she had another message waiting. "I'm so sorry, I'm getting a lot of messages, and they are timely. I'm not trying to be rude."
She opened the message, once again from Sage, and relief hit her. Elyse didn't want to go through the process of becoming someone else, but it was the next message that made Elyse actually smile. Her dad had to drive.
He hates driving - especially when he's working. He'll be seething the whole way here. Also - just so you know - he has one of those new electric vehicles - lots of fun hacking you can probably do...not that you need my permission - but you have my blessing to fuck around with him as much as you want
With regards to Nox - feel free to tell him that I know and that I'm taking precautions and preparing. I'm thinking I'm going to find a different living arrangement. I'm on a monthly lease, and this will at least keep him from finding me at my current apartment. I don't know where I'll go yet (don't tell him that part - I'll be fine - no need for him to worry more), but I'll make it work. Sage - thank you so much for what you are doing. This means a lot to me - so very much. Hey - can I trust these two people I'm with. I trust Anna explicitly. I know you're watching.
Before putting the wallet down, she sent another message to Mae. She'd have to let Mae know what was going on too.
Hey Mae. I try to not bother you when you're with Galina and Aubrey, and I'm sorry to do so now. I have something I need to discuss with you in person when you can - it can wait until tomorrow, but it does need to be fairly soon. Sorry once again
She turned to the group and noticed that Cade was giving flowers to the other girls in the group. Looking at Anna, she saw the smile as she took it. It was different than many Elyse had seen, and Anna's scent confirmed it. Anna was quite taken with their male companion. Elyse smiled at that, and hoped Anna the best. Cade didn't sound like he was ready for more than a friendship just yet, but she hoped for the best - either way.
"You're a very kind man, Cade," Elyse said to Cade. It really was a nice gesture. To the group she said. "Thank you all for not pushing me on this right now. If I may, I'd like to propose a toast. To new friends!" She raised her glass.
