The Most Moving Terms of Endearment (1)

[Margaret's POV]

On the way, I received a telepathic message from Donald. I could already master this skill.

He invited me to lunch in the cafeteria. I had actually almost reached the door of his room. When I got his message, I was a little depressed. I thought I could spend some time alone with him.

I was about to turn around and go to the cafeteria when I heard the door open. It was Donald!

I threw myself at him in surprise, wanting to hug him. He looked surprised, too, and opened his arms to hug me. Only then did I see that Elliot was behind him. In hindsight, I was ashamed. I quickly let go of Donald.

Elliot smiled at me, and I smiled back.

I still had a good impression of Elliot. He had always been polite and discreet and did not do anything unnecessary or annoying.

But I felt Donald standing in front of me, glaring at me.
