Elyse didn’t smile, and she felt bad for her responses. Hayden seemed like a really nice guy. In fact, if she was in a normal state of mind, she could see herself laughing, chatting, and enjoying the breakfast he wanted to make for her. But this wasn’t a normal day for her. The last couple of days hadn’t been normal for her, and Nox had sent her a stranger to come talk to her, and she really didn’t understand what he was trying to do.
Hayden didn’t seem to want to talk to her about her issues. In fact he was avoiding them entirely. He even said he was a bartender. What was going on? How was this going to help? Had it been anyone besides Nox, she would have felt like this was some sort of joke, but she trusted Nox. There had to be a reason why Nox wanted him to talk to her. Elyse took a couple of breaths to calm down. She could feel her pulse rising.
She shrugged at his question. ”Havent been here long. Nox hasn’t really been here since I got here. And the kids - well I don’t see them much. Don’t really leave my room unless I’m eating or working.” somewhere it clicked that maybe Hayden just wanted her to feel comfortable. But she couldn’t feel that way unless she knew why Nox had chosen him. She also knew she might come across as rude, even if that wasn’t what she had intended. ”Please don’t take this the wrong way, but why did Nox send you?”
