Chapter 41

Helen slipped out of the room when Matt cried himself to sleep. It was too bad that she couldn't get much out of him. It didn't matter anyway. She was sure she had a feeling about what happened. Matt just needed to calm down and when he was ready to talk he would. She jumped a bit startled to see Elliot waiting there for him.

"Wonder when the two of you got closer" he remarked snidely. "Months ago he said you weren't his mum and now the two of you are beyond close".

"How time changes someone when they just actually talk to the one they think is at fault right" she retorted smartly.

Elliot groaned closing his eyes. "What did you tell him?"

"What? Scared that I told him the truth?" she challenged with her chest puffed out a bit.

He just narrowed his eyes. He wouldn't have this argument with his son trying to sleep. "Care to join me downstairs Helen?"

She just huffed and walked ahead of him. He followed after giving one last look at the door.
