After lunch, Elyse bid Hayden a farewell, telling him she would let him know when she was at Anna’s and that she was going to turn her wallet off, and then went to check on Marta. The girl was concerned, and Elyse was grateful. She made sure Marta had a ride home. The girl had contacted Ricky and everything was all set. Elyse then checked in with Carmen and told her that the Atharim heat was no longer on her. Carmen knew the situation and knew what that meant, so when Elyse took another personal day, she was understanding. Elyse apologized profusely for the many absences she’d had over the week, and told her that soon, she’d be a lot more consistent.
Then Elyse headed to Anna’s. Their friendship was still new, but it had felt like they had known each other for so long. The two women had just connected in a way that Elyse had never connected with anyone before. Still, it was new enough that Elyse hadn’t yet been to Anna’s house. Elyse took out her phone and sent Hayden a message.
At Anna’s safe. Thanks for everything Hayden. Wallet is going off - need to disconnect a bit.
She also sent one to Nox. She knew he wouldn’t check for awhile, but given the day, she didn’t want him to be worried if he found she wasn’t at his place.
Hey Nox. I’m at Anna’s - probably there all night. Don’t want you to worry. I’m fine - well - im not - but I will be. Turning off my wallet. If you need me - contact Anna.
She turned her wallet off after the message sent and knocked on the door. Her friend answered quickly, expecting her and invited her in.
”Hey!” Anna had a bright smile on her face. ”Want the tour - or just want to sit down and talk?”
Elyse matched Anna’s smile. Her ability to bring Elyse some calm is part of what made them good friends. ”Tour later…let’s just sit for a bit.” Anna nodded and led her to the couch.
