Just as we finish lunch, a beautiful woman comes into the dining room. She is tall with straight, black hair that reaches her hips and eyes the prettiest shade of blue. Her lips are full and red, and they curl up into a smile when she sees Elijah. My heart sinks to my stomach. This must be Maelia. No wonder Elijah is with her, she is probably the most stunning woman I have ever seen! I can’t help but feel sad and jealous like the loser than I am. How have things turned so much that I’m now the one sad over Elijah? I didn’t want him to begin with… two weeks ago.
“Lord Elijah.” She bows. “So good to see you. And I heard you brought someone home with you.” She smiles at me. I force a smile back.
“Demi, this is Grace.” Elijah introduces me. Demi? Not Maelia? My heart flutters with relief.
