Eleanor stopped by the hallway after she had walked for a bit.
The air felt dense and awkward. To her, things changed the very moment she realized Elisa wasn’t what she had thought her to be all these while and to Elisa, things has gone awkward between them the very moment Eleanor learned of her reality. Eleanor was no longer what she had thought her to be and she had learned of her secret, her real life. Still, she would want more than anything for them to go back to how they used to be.
“How is my family?” Eleanor finally spoke.
“Holding it all in, I guess...they are searching for you…through the police and others…”
“Oh shit…” Eleanor sighed. The thought of her family seeing what she has become dreaded her. She could never put them through that.
“I need you to do me a favor…”
“Tell me, what should I do?” Elisa asked facing her keenly. She would do anything to have her friend back.
“Take a picture of me.”
