Chapter 106- Visiting Drake
Zarah’s pov
The morning sun pushed itself through the curtains, casting a warm glow which I loved over the kitchen. Elliot sat at the table, his legs swinging excitedly under his chair as he stared at the cereal in front of him, slightly touching it. I knew what his excitement was all about and I was happy that he was happy.
He was too eager to eat, too eager for something different. His bright eyes were filled with expectation, and I couldn’t help but smile at the way he was actually bouncing in his seat.
"Mom, when are we going to see Uncle Damon? " he asked, his voice high-pitched with excitement as he reached for the cereal bowl.
I froze, the spoon swimming near my mouth, as the words he’d just said hit me harder than I’d expected.
The day my mother had visited I knew that Elliot had listened to our conversation and he had asked who Damon was.
My mouth had felt so dry until I had no. Another option but to lie to him and tell him Damon was his uncle.
It hurt me more than anything else that I had lied to my son.
But everything had changed and told mother had given me a phone call, spoke to Elliot and I had agreed even though I had talked this out with Michael, and agreed to go and see Damon, after all, one visit wouldn’t hurt.
" I can see that you are so excited, sweetie. We’ll see him soon. "
But that wasn’t the truth. I could feel it in the oit of my stomach — Damon was calling me back into his world. And no matter how numerous times I tried to tell myself I wasn’t ready, it felt like fate itself had other plans.
