Before I knew it, Monday came around and it was time to go back to work. Isaiah still hasn't talked to me or stopped by, so to say I was worried was an understatement. My first relationship and I already messed up. I enter the house and everything is going according to plan, except today James asks for coffee.

"I'm sorry sir, did you just ask..."

"For coffee, yes my dear Eloise, I would like to try something new," he smiles and I nod, still in a little shock. Hazel soon comes down and sits at the table, she goes to take a sip of her tea and stops.

"Honey bear, are you drinking coffee?" She asks in surprise, James turns towards her and nods.

"I've never tasted anything like it!" he smiles and Hazel turns and looks at me, her eyes wide. I nod, indicating that I agree with her.

"Well that's new, but I see you taking a bite out of my muffin isn't", she grumbles and I cant help but giggle, the two are so cute.

"I see father had tried coffee, glad he listened to me," Elijah says behind me and I jump. I turn and playfully slap him on the chest.

"You really need to stop doing that!" I scowl.

"Oh Eloise, I forgot to ask, how was your weekend?" Hazel asks and I blush.

"Oh, it was fun, I had an amazing time! Thank you for the days off by the way," I tell her and she smiles.

"Anytime, anytime! So you and this Isaiah fella, I heard that the two of you got quite acquainted," she says giving me a knowing look.

"Oh...well.." I blush baffled.

"That says all we need to know, glad you finally found someone, it was about time," James smiles and I smile back.

"Thank you sir, it does feel nice," I smile and he nods in agreement.

"I had the honor of meeting him, he seemed like a nice fellow," Elijah says as he makes his way to the table.

"Oh, then we have to meet him as well! How about this Friday?" Hazel says.

"I don't know, I mean, its only been three days.." I murmur.

"Hmm, you are right, well then when you're ready," Hazel replies and I nod, thankful. I then proceed to give Elijah some coffee and a muffin as well and then go to do the rest of my chores around the house.

It's break time and I find myself nervous, Isaiah hasn't talked to me since yesterday, and Hazel has already invited him to come over to dinner! How do I tell him this, if he doesn't want to talk to me?! That's when I snap out of it! Why am I cowering?! I don't deserve this! I now walk with determination in my step, I will not tolerate such disrespect. I go to Mama and then I walk up to Isaiah knowing Papa will join us in a couple of seconds.

"Isaiah, why are you ignoring me?" I ask.

"I'm not ignoring you," he says and I look at him with an eyebrow raised.

"Yes you are, you didn't even stop by towards the end of the day yesterday, let alone talk to me after you left, saying you had to think. Think about what?!"

"Eloise...come with me," he says and I turn towards Mama, nodding at her, indicating that it's ok for her to continue without me.

"What is it?" I ask, as we walk further away.
