Elijah nodded.

"Are you both coming inside?"

Marie looked at Elijah.

"It's up to Marie."

"How are you feeling though Eli?"

"I'm fine."

She nodded and brought him inside after her mother.

He went inside with them.

"Sit sit, I'll get some drinks and something to eat"

Marie laughed softly snuggling into his side.

Elijah sat with her, sliding his arms around her.

When her mother came back in she pressed a glass I to Marie's hand as well as a plate of pasta. "You must eat and stay healthy."

Marie laughed softly.

Elijah smiled slightly watching her.

She ate in silence.

"Will she be able to stay home now?"

"If that's what she wants, but she's fine to stay with the rest of us for as long as she wants."

Marie hadn't really thought on it at all and was silent.

Elijah was also silent.

"I- well um.."

"It's right dead you can remain with them if you like. Take some of yours and your sisters things if you need."

Elijah loked at her. "For your safety sake though, I do recommend that you remain here with your mother, just until the wedding."

"Eli...will you come see me often? Keep an eye on Laura for me?"

"Of course I will."

"Alright."

He kissed her forehead. "And I might visit you duing the night if you're a good girl." He whispered it so only she could hear.

She blushed softly hugging him.

He hugged her back.

She smiled sitting back.

He smiled back.
