“Hello my name is Ella Johnson and I will be your Ligrust for today.” I hear Ella say. Her voice is just so perfect.
I see her eyes fix on mine and look away fast. She thinks I hate her.
“You may now pass the peace.” Shit she’s coming. I wonder how I can make sure she thinks I hate her more so she doesn’t know my true feelings.
“May the peace be with you” I say to Ella. We sit back down when the pastor tells us to. During the prayers of the people I took Ella’s hand. After the prayer I don’t let Ella’s hand go. I hold her hand until the end of service. I got to hug her and almost kissed her.
But I just couldn’t.
