Ellie’s POV
Once everyone has left for the evening and I am left with my Father, Willam and Margaret, the weight of Avery’s premature departure is heavy on my thoughts. My worry and concern are mixed up with confusion and frustration.
I don’t understand why he didn’t tell me he was leaving, why he ignored my texts and calls. If something had happen, I thought he would have at least left me a brief explanation via text. I don’t think I am expecting much, but he left with no explanation at all. He was my ride home, he always helps with everything, but now he is just gone.
“Tonight was another success Ellie. After tonight, everyone in London will know your name and work,” Margaret says while she walks toward me with a glass of champagne on offer for me.
I gladly take it, clinkin
