Emilia was sitting in the kitchen reading letters from Miles. There was a small knock on the door. "Emilia." said Waltres. She lifted her head, turning to the small elf. "It's Mr. Elijah."

Emilia made a face, going towards the door. She opened it to see him with a smile. "Hi." said Elijah.

"Hello." said Emilia. The both of them awkwardly standing at the doorway.

"Uh, can I come in?" asked Elijah.

"Oh, oh yeah. Yeah, come in." said Emilia letting him in the house, closing the door behind him.

"I haven't seen you since your birthday." said Elijah. Emilia awkwardly stood in front of him, looking up. "Emilia, please. We don't have to make things weird."

"They're not weird." said Emilia leaning back and forth. Elijah handed her a rose, smiling. "What's this for?"

"It's for you." said Elijah. "I'm sorry."

"You did nothing." said Emilia making her way back on the chair. She closed Miles' letters and sighed. "I just— I felt guilt."

"I understand that." said Elijah making his way towards her, sitting down. "I just. . . well, I like you. I like you a lot."

"I'm not ready to move on, Elee." said Emilia softening her gaze. Elijah smiled, nodding his head.

"Well, i'm going to give you all the time you want." said Elijah putting his palm on her cheek softly. "But I really like you. I'll wait."

"Don't be crazy." said Emilia.

"I'm not." said Elijah. Emilia looked into his eyes, titling her head. "I know you feel something towards me. You kissed me even if you were drunk."

"I don't know, Elijah. I— im not ready to be in a relationship again." said Emilia blinking.

"Okay, I said i'll give you time." said Elijah softly. Emilia moved his hand, turning back to the letters on the table. "Hermosa, I promise i'll never hurt you. I'll prove to you that you and I can work. Just give me that chance."

"Dale, esta bien." said Emilia with a face. "But we're just friends!"

"For now, yeah." smiled Elijah. Emilia rolled her eyes, shaking her head. "What are you looking at?"

"Letters." said Emilia.

"From Miles?" asked Elijah rolling his eyes. Emilia chuckled, nodding her head. "Why doesn't he just call you? What is this? The 40s? Nobody uses letters anymore."

"He doesn't use phones." said Emilia looking at the paper.

"Okay." said Elijah rolling his eyes once more, sitting back. Emilia turned to look at him with a face.

"I think you would like him." said Emilia. Elijah made a face, crossing his arms.

"I wouldn't because him and I would be fighting over you." said Elijah. Emilia snorted, looking at him.

"Thanks boy, for coming." said Eloise with a chuckle. "I'm zure I would've been fine with going into the muggle ztores alone. Hayden is just insane."

"Well, we have some experience with muggles so we're glad to help." chuckled Miles.

"Hayden probably would've hurt us if we didn't go with you anyways." yawned Adrian.

"Didn't get much zleep, Adrian?" asked Eloise.

"Not really, I was up all night studying for an exam I have coming up soon." said Adrian.
