The Marvelous Elijah’s Return
Chapter 97
A dead man has no tale to tell
Not for a second, not even for a moment did Elijah close his eyes, and the first light of dawn met him standing a slim distance away from the glass wall, watching the darks slowly fade.
The news about Meeks didn‘t leave his mind, and like a haunting nightmare, it dawned on him every second that sleep had forsaken him.
Patting the sheets, Peach‘s eyelids slowly opened, looking up at her husband with her drowsy eyes, still half asleep, before she let out a soft yawn, rubbing her nose on one finger in an attempt to get rid of the sleepiness.
When she fully awakened, a sense of worry and confusion settled around her like fog, as she slowly sat up straight, staring at Elijah.
After that phone call last night that she had deemed “annoying” because Elijah lost all interest after receiving it, she knew something was off, and now, seeing him just standing there made her even more anxious.
“Good morning,” Peach said while putting on her robe and slipping a pair of slippers over her feet.
Then she walked over to Elijah, hugging him from the back as her chin rested on his bare back while she looked up at the back of his hair, whispering, “A morning kiss for your thoughts?”
It took Elijah a second to snap out of his daze, and then he rested his palms against the back of her hands, pulling them off him gently before turning around to face her.
“That‘s an offer I can never turn down.” Elijah said with a warm smile
Slowly, Peach grinned back at him, but instead of saying a word, she leaned in and kissed him deeply, letting the feeling wash over her, filling her with so many emotions.
When they parted, Elijah wrapped his arms around her waist, pressing his face into the crook of her neck, and sighed deeply, squeezing her.
“Now, it‘s your turn…” Peach whispered, running her fingers slowly in his hair. “What‘s wrong?”
“Meeks is missing. His car was found on the ocean shore last night, but he was not in it.” Elijah explained softly.
Speechless, a look of horropassed through Peach‘s features as she stared at Elijah for what seemed like forever until her lips parted slightly, and then she mumbled, “Grandfather‘s lawyer… Mr. Meek?”
