Elliot brought Anastasia to the break room. Her eyes were welling up with tears and every time she thought about what her father was going through, her heart throbbed with pain.
He wrapped his arms around her and gently wiped away her tears.
“I’m sorry,” she said, turning to look at him. “I really don’t wish to get engaged at the moment. Can we postpone it?”
“Sure,” he said, nodding. “Don’t rush. It can be done after your father wakes up.”
