Chapter Thirty Nine: Death Threats

After she ate, she immediately did her project. She had to do that to catch up on the lessons in the next few days. Two in the morning, she was still not done with what she was doing. She went down to get beer in the refrigerator and junk food in the cabinet.

"Why are you still awake?"

Elize heard the man approach, but she ignored him. She took two beers in cans and an enormous lay.

"Are you going to drink alone?"

Elize took a deep breath and sat down in the chair next to the nook. She slid the beer in the can over the nook until it landed in front of Gavin.

"Thanks," Gavin said, smiling.

"I'm doing my project," Elize said.

"Oh, I can help."

Elize smirked, then drank the beer she was holding. "Do you know anything about architectural design?"

Gavin laughed. "Geez, I hate measurements."

"Then you can't help me," said Elize

Gavin didn't speak, and he just stared at Elize. He watched every sip of its beer. Elize noticed this.

"Do you like me?" Elize asked.
