 After finishing my shift at Edenbrook yesterday, I stuck to my promise and came home to be with Ethan.

 Because it's obvious that Elijah doesn't want to talk to me. 

Even Sienna said that when she tried to ask him why he's avoiding me.... he even avoided the question.

 And Ethan-

 My poor Ethan is blaming himself for it. It's not his fault no matter how much he tries to tell himself it is. If someone is unwilling to talk to me- unwilling to hear me out when there's nothing much to say- then.... that's on them.

 This morning however, was my morning off to spend with E and to just.... breathe. I sat curled up at the top end up the bed on the warm spring morning, looking out the window with my comfort fruit, Mango

Strawberries are my favourite fruit for a jovial mood. Mango however provides the perfect sweetness and tang for a pick me up.

Ethan came out of bathroom slicking his hair back and said "I really don't want you to worry Valerie. About any of this." 

I looked to him And said "easier said than done." 

He sighed and leaned against the doorframe as he said "I know. But you're doing the best you can. In the situation i-" 

I raised a reprimanding brow and he sighed again "bloom put us in. We'll talk to Elijah, I have that meeting later today.... we'll know a lot more soon." I nodded slowly and I looked out the window as he came over and lifted up my arm, a smile on my lips as he placed it over him and rested his head on my chest. 

"Comfy there?" I smiled.

 "Very..." I stroked the hair at the nape of his neck and relaxed as I handed him the bowl

"I feel honoured you saved me some." he chuckled

I smiled as i looked down to him and said "you're the only person i want to share my fruit with."

He kissed my chest and he pulled me closer to him "coming home again tonight?"

"That depends. will you miss me lots and lots if i go?" i looked to him with a raised brow
