Chapter 38: Lost At Sea
“Excuse me?” Ellis growled. He grabbed my arm and gently tugged me from the door.
The woman laughed, pulling our attention back. She was tall, slim, and had legs that went on for miles. She had the aesthetics of a supermodel, even though she was clearly closer to Ellis’ age than I was.
“Of course, you know who I am,” she said. “How couldn’t you remember, dear?”
Dear?! What was going on here? Who was she?
Her insistence bothered me and I looked at Ellis, expecting him to jump in with an explanation any time soon. He just shook his head, his hand still firmly around my elbow.
“Look, I don't know who you are. Now, will you please get off my property,” Ellis demanded, glaring at the woman.
I looked back and forth between them. Either he really didn’t know who she was or he was desperate to cover up their past.
