Elaine preferred to spend her whole day off with Silas so they could run errands together. He had learned that a few weeks into their association and didn't mind one bit.
Having a female interested in him was thrilling since it had never happened before. She was pretty, smelled nice, and had an enchanting tinkle of a laugh on the rare occasions she let one slip.
He enjoyed spending time with her but had noticed certain discrepancies in her behavior every so often. As such, it was hard to tell when she was saying what was truly on her mind. She could talk forever about insignificant details while keeping her emotions close to her chest.
The only time true emotion seemed to slip through was when she talked about working as a laundress. He got the feeling she truly hated it there.
