Elijah’s pov
I still stare at Lynn when I’m standing with my phone in my hand, my heart beats like a f*****g hammer in my chest from hearing my mate, my pretty mate that I told I was coming back to, which turned out to be harder than I had counted on.
“Honey, who was that? its over seven, you know I don’t like you answering calls then, especially since your parents are here.” She nods to the dining room, and I just swallow down my pain of hanging up on Ocean.
Fuck.
I see my parents, laughing, having a f*****g good time, all while I’m dying inside and makes excuses to keep Lynn away from me, I don’t want Ocean to suffer anymore then she does, and I know that if I even kissed Lynn, she would feel it, it would hurt her.
Not that I wanted to kiss her, or f**k her, hell I didn’t even want
