Timeless (Enoch O'Connor x OC)

Part 8

Enoch had a problem...

He fails to see how, but ever since that night in the basement, he had started to see Elizabeth in a different way, for some the idea of her working for wights seemed highly unlikely now

He also seem to noticed small details about her that he never noticed before, he knew that she tended to keep to herself unless someone approached her, but he noticed a few habits he had, she spent most of her own time in the garden or the library, and she tended to keep away from her room most of the time, his mind would make note of this details without him even realizing

During dinner he would take glances at her, which sometimes ended in accidental eye contact between them

Enoch felt confused and frustrated, he failed to understand this new interest or the new unfamiliar feelings he felt towards her, but he knew that no one has to find out about this, much less Elizabeth

Enoch cursed to himself when he was called to Miss Ravens office, thinking that he was probably in trouble again for something he said or did, he would not have been surprised if that was the reason

What he did not expect was Elizabeth to be sitting in the office along with Miss Raven, when she turned around to see him, she looked just as surprised as he was

"Mr. O'Connor, please take a seat" miss Raven asked as he pointed with her hand at the seat next to Elizabeth, Enoch reluctantly took a seat, taking a glance at Elizabeth who looked a little confused

"Glad to have you both here" Miss Raven greeted before turning to Enoch "I called you both here because I need you to collect a few items from the town nearby, here is a list of all you need to collect" she explained before handing a piece of paper to Enoch, he took a look at the paper before looking back at miss Raven with a surprised look, he was about to say something before Elizabeth spoke up

"Miss Raven, umm... with all due respect, I do not think I should be the one to accompany Enoch with this task" she spoke out with a nervous tone "I just think that with my peculiarity im going to cause more of an inconvenience than anything"

Enoch frowned a little at her explanation, for some reason the fact that she was refusing to go bothered him,  but she was right nonetheless, the large wings attached to her back would call some unwanted attention

"I understand your concerns, but with the help of miss stager, we have concluded a way for you to hide your winds, so you can go to the public without attracting undesired attention" she explained, Elizabeth looked at her confused, and so did Enoch

"Well that's one way to not attract attention" Enoch said sarcastically as he watched Veronica strap a large backpack onto Elizabeth's back, her wing being stuffed inside of it by a whole that was cut into it

"Enoch if I wanted your opinion I would have asked for it" Veronica replied to his remark

"Mr O'Connor, could I speak to you for a moment?" Miss Raven insisted before she pulled Enoch to the side where the girls could not hear them

"Alright Enoch, I know you are not very fond of Elizabeth" miss Raven stated in a lower tone

"What gave it away?" Enoch asked sarcastically, miss Raven frowned
