In the evening, when Darnell returned, Elaine was lying in front of the coffee table, carefully writing something.
As soon as she saw Darnell come in, she immediately closed her notebook and looked up at him while stroking cake's head: "Why are you so late today?"
Darnell's eyes scanned her computer before he spoke in a low voice: "There's a quarterly meeting today."
Elaine "Oh", put the cake on the side, get up and ready to go out: "Then I'll go get you something to eat up here."
She had just taken two steps when her wrist was gripped.
Darnell said, "What's being written."
With a smile on her face, Elaine said "secret" and ran downstairs.
And cake followed her, running like a little rabbit.
Darnell's lips curled down, loosened his tie, and turned to go into the bathroom.
Elaine came up with dinner and hurriedly sent the plan she had just written to Natasha while Darnell was in the shower.
After two minutes, Natasha replied: [Is this going to work.
Elaine: [Can, I did at first].
Elaine: [You try it first, we have several options anyway, this one doesn't work and then the next one.
Natasha: [Okay, then I'll try.
Elaine was about to reply when the bathroom door opened and she immediately put the phone down again.
Darnell sat next to her, "Is the dessert store cleaned up yet."
Elaine nodded: "It's pretty much packed up, opening in a week."
She said, taking CAKE into her arms, "I want to ask you a question ......"
"Hmm?"
"It's ......" Elaine cocked her head, "Is it true that Archer he's never been in love?"
Darnell looked at him and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you think."
"I feel as if there is no, but he is more than twenty years, did not talk about it seems a bit can not say the past."
Darnell: "......"
Speaking of which, Elaine realized a more sensitive topic, Darnell was in his thirties and hadn't talked about it.
But then she was a little unsure, it should be ...... no?
Until her gaze grew unsure, Darnell spoke, "He doesn't have time."
Elaine turned her head, "Oh."
Immediately afterwards, his voice continued, "I don't have time either."
Hearing him say that, the corner of Elaine's lips curled up in suppression and she whispered, "Got it."
"What else is wrong."
On the rare occasion that Elaine returned, "So did he ...... ever like any girls, that is to say, what type would he like?"
Darnell said, "No, what did your friend say."
"She said they ......"
Darnell stepped forward and saw her eyes closed tightly, and couldn't help but laugh, "Can you sleep like that."
"Can."
Only after she said that she realized that something was wrong and immediately shut her mouth again and stopped talking.
Darnell sits on the bed and sidles over to turn off the light on her side.
Elaine half-opened one eye and what met her eyes was the man's slightly bulging throat knot.
She remembered Natasha's words today, dangerous and fascinating.
With a snap, the wall light was turned off.
Elaine tilted her head up and took the knot of his throat.
Darnell's body paused slightly, and his voice was low and muffled: "No more sleep?"
Elaine stepped back a bit and vaguely said, "It's not even twelve, the young people's night life is just starting, I ...... Well!"
Before she could get halfway through her sentence, her lips were blocked.
Elaine quickly adapted and her hand lifted to encircle his neck.
Between breaths, Elaine spoke without warning, "Do you want ...... to have a baby?"
Darnell's palm gently rested on her sweaty back: "Do you want to."
Elaine said, "I kind of want to ...... but not really."
Having a child is not really that simple. She wants to be responsible for her own life as well as more responsible for her child's life.
