Jared had asked the question, but never received an answer. The young man - Jared wasn’t sure of his name - had brought up decorating a Christmas tree.
The word Christmas reverberated across the room. Excitement fell on the kids’ face. Gen, who had been so excited about trying to heal Nox, was now excitedly heading towards the stairs. Jared let out a chuckle as he was left kneeling on the mat alone. The kids weren’t being selfish. They were being kids. He stood up, Elyse was there with a bright smile. Elyse looked at Rachel who was with the young man and a young woman - Jared assumed this was Mara. The gaze was there. Elyse liked Rachel very much. Emily had told him this, but he could now see the truth of it. Jared knew it was reciprocated.
”Its okay to like her,” he whispered to Elyse. Elyse didn’t look at him, but just smiled and gave a nod. ”Go to her.”
The problem before had been Rachel’s feelings may not have been her own. Her struggles had made her emotions confused. There was still some of that, but Jared knew Rachel and Emily still more. It had been Emily who had pointed this out at one of their dinners. She liked Elyse - very much - and this could be good for her. It was the whole reason Elyse had been hesitant. She simply hadn’t wanted to confuse the girl.
