Chapter 47 Wedding Plans

• A soft knock came at the door. As much as I tried going back to sleep, I couldn’t. I just lay in bed knowing I had to get up to eat but I did not feel like it. I did not want to eat at all and I decided to fast for as long as I could until Elio came back. I could not just live life while he was out there going through who knows what. I would eat fruits only and pray for his return.
• I did not want company as bad as that sounded and as the door slightly opened dread fell on me. I just hoped it wasn’t Mamma.
• “Hi L. Are you awake?” A soft voice came and my eyes peeled open. The door closed, soft feet walking closer.
