Elyse didn’t hesitate after Jared’s command to go to Rachel. The words meant more than what they said. Elyse didn’t need their permission to be with Rachel. Neither did Rachel. The blessing of Jared Vanders meant the blessing of Emily Shale. And Emily always wanted what was best for her sister. The words had meant that Emily and Jared thought Rachel’s feelings were real, not some facsimile created by Lucio’s messing with her head.
Elyse had smelled it. When she had walked away from Rachel, her scent had changed. It was always slight - buried in fear - but it was different. Desire - not lust - it wasn’t the need for sexual gratification she had smelled when she had first met Rachel. It was tamer - more in control. Desire. Still - she had smiled then, thinking of Rachel checking her out as she walked away.
Given the gift of the blessing had just made it time for Elyse to do something. Liam had her hand, but she had Lily, so Elyse went to her other side to help her stand up, and when Rachel looked up to see who had helped, she smiled.
”You want to go?” Elyse asked. Rachel nodded.
