Well, then. Eliot supposed her life was all right right now...she guessed. She was just...well, she didn't much feel like thinking or talking about her family.
"I'm fine, really," she lied...well, it wasn't a lie, was it, if she really was fine?!
Gah!
Elliot didn't even know if she was fine. She took out her tea set and poured two STEAMING hot cups of tea...plopped precisely one cube into hers and slid the sugar bowl towards Maxwell. She took a sip and sighed...."THis is nice. And it's cold." She said, raising an eyebrow...
Well done, Captain Obvious.
