 Mrs. Alex Turner *asterisks user* Secret Door
Still trying hard not to cry, Evangeline watched as Clifford moved his chair and suddenly felt his hand on hers. She wasn’t sure why, but knowing that he was there trying to comfort her was too much for her. She could feel the tears running down her face and there was nothing she could do to stop it. So, she did the only thing she thought it could help. She quickly stood up, dropping the letter and the book into the floor, and sat on his lap, cuddling against him and placing her head on his shoulder.
Hearing his first words, she nodded slowly knowing what he meant. Yes, that was the grandfather who didn’t like her. “I don’t even know why I’m so sad. After what he did I should hate him” She sobbed quietly into his shoulder, not even realising what she was saying. Taking slow breaths, trying to calm down, Evangeline heard his next words and looked up at him, sadness all over her face. “I’ll leave tomorrow. I’ll be away for a few days.”
