Nox was okay. She didn’t believe that, but she wanted a reason to not have Hayden here. Even as she wanted him to be here. It was all confusing. She didn’t deserve this. Hayden pulled her into his lap and held her close, offering a light apology to Anna. She listened to what he had to say, her breath shuddering.
She began to speak when she had a chance. ”But I don’t de…” she stopped as he flicked his ear. ”other people…” another ear flick. Anna, who still had tears in her eyes was smirking a bit at her. ”You shut up!” Elyse said, but it was more playful than anything else.
”I didn’t say anything, but I’m totally stealing the ear flick thing. You’re not getting to wallow about this stuff when your sexy therapist isn’t here,” she gave Hayden a wink.
Elyse took a deep breath and gave Anna a brief smile. ”I get out of bed for Anna and Marta,” she said finally. Anna smiled.
Elyse didn’t mention his father, but knowing that sometimes Hayden struggled helped. She had noticed though that when Hayden had begun to speak softly she had turned away as if not listening. Anna was good people.
”What do I say to these kids - what do I say to Ashton.”
