The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

The last laugh

Even though she was hesitant, Natalie pushed the huge wooden door open, and then looked back at Elijah and Peach, mumbling, “This is it.”

Calmly Peach walked past her, entering the office, and Elijah let out a soft sigh before following her into the room, then Natalie closed the door, leaving the two alone

There was this long pause between them as they both stood awkwardly in the center of the room while she stared at him

You knew you weren’t going to go to jail, didn’t you?” Peach asked, her voice calm but not exactly pleasant

“I had an idea.” Elijah replied, not looking at her. “I just.. wasn’t quite sure if I could pull it off But I am glad I did.”

A look of hesitation crossed her face for a second before she seemed to settle down and took a deep breath before speaking again, I’m just glad you and Matt don’t get to go to jail.”

‘But there are more your lips are refusing to say.’ Elijah thought to himself, watching as Peach fidgeted slightly with her hands.

It was no secret to her, at this point, that her husband was not a simple man and the fact that he could challenge the Hayes in such a way by what he did to Elmer made her realize that she wanted him by her side more than ever, not only in love but in every aspect of her life Calmly.

Peach darted her gaze around the huge office, feeling a sense of uneasiness rise up within her

“I can’t believe I own this place… Thanks to you.” Peach muttered under her breath, taking another deep breath, before looking at him once more, “But I am scared and nervous. A bit shaken up, and… I don’t know where to start.”

Running her hands through her hair, she took one last steadying breath, mumbling. This place has been operated by the Hayes for years, and everyone in here is loyal to them. Can I even be able to handle this position without running afoul of them?”

For a moment. Elijah stared at the look of sheer panic on her face, and he slowly took his hands out of his pockets, closing the distance between them to grab her hand gently, asking. “You want this company. right?”

“Well… yeah, yes. Of course.” Peach said, watching his eyes for a second, and then a small smile graced her face. “But I want to run it with someone I can trust.. someone that has my back, umm… someone who’s really smart, handsome, strong.”
