Elena

Two days…

It had been two days since inmate Marvin Romero decided to send me back an email. It wouldn’t be too far stretched to admit that the email scared the living crap out of me.

He seemed like the kind of person who was spoiled and wanted things to go his way. That’s the very same reason why I had decided not to let him have his way and tried to make him sweat.

Okay, that wasn’t the only reason.

I was afraid of Victoria’s reaction and knew she would tell me not to reply anymore, but something told me that it was my duty to respond. I mean, the email was a tiny bit rude, but he did ask me about my hobby’s and goals, right? That was nice.

“Hello, earth to Elena!” Rona waved her hand in my face. “Oh, right—I’m sorry.” I apologized.

“One large bloody mary, to go.” Roa spoke with a suspicious look on her face. I turned to look at the customer and smiled. “Coming right up!”

I gave myself a mental scolding before I got to my job and made the cocktail. I had been out of it for two days, and it was all because of that Marvin guy. It was a good thing he had a life sentence because Marvin seemed like the type of guy to visit me-so that he could ask why I hadn’t replied.

“Here you go,” I told Rona and handed the order. I grabbed a napkin and walked to the back so that I could wipe the sweat from my forehead. Anyone else would’ve probably thought it was due to work stress and would’ve never guessed all of this was because of a prison inmate.

“Are you sick?” Rona asked as she walked in. She placed her hand against my forehead and pouted her lips. “Have you caught some kind of virus or something?”

Yes, the prison pen pal virus.
