Either way, I'm the one getting hurt," Elsie whispered, falling into the arms of the boy in front of her.

With his hands crossed in front of him, the Professor watched the girl carefully, as if expecting her to break in tiny pieces. "Would you mind if I asked who the father is, Miss Lombardi?" the man asked. "So we can ask him to meet you here." he clarified, as if the two of them didn't know that he was just a curious man, who liked to know the gossips that surrounded the students. "Actually, I would, Professor." the girl sighed, dropping her hands to look at the old man in front of her. "Because I don't know who it is either." Inspired by the movie Mamma Mia All rights to J.
