Ellie had quite a few questions for the man who was creeping into her bed night after night, questions she was not planning to ask. What should we do about us? was first on her list. When he said he loved her forever, that he loved her with his whole heart, that her children were his priority, too, was that a suggestion that they marry? There was no way she'd ask him. And waiting to see what Noah would do next was almost as hard as waiting for her children to be legally returned to her. *
Ellie found herself increasingly curious about the man who had been sneaking into her bed on a nightly basis. Although she had numerous pressing questions, she hesitated to voice them. Foremost among her inquiries was whether their relationship was moving toward the possibility of marriage, especially after hearing him profess his deep love for her and his commitment to her children. The ambiguity of his intentions left her in a state of uncertainty.
As she grappled with her feelings, Ellie was not only anxious about the future of her relationship but also enduring the emotional strain of waiting for her children to be legally returned to her. Each moment of uncertainty about both her personal life and her family situation weighed heavily on her, amplifying the difficulty of waiting to see what choices Noah might make next. Her concerns about love and family intertwined with the complexities of her current life circumstances.
