Life After Him Part 7
3 days later when Ellis finally got home with the help of the McDonnells, she tried to prepare Brendan for school.
- I'm sorry, honey. I bought you a chocolate croissant for breakfast. Have a lovely day!
After she remained alone she drank a coffee, sat on the couch, and watched TV. A bit later she sat at her desk and tried to make notes for her new book. The writing became slower. Writing or doing anything with her injuries wasn't easy. After a while, the doorbell rang. Sean.
- Uhm...Good morning! - he smiled. - I wondered...whether you need help. I mean it must be difficult with your...arm and everything. So....can I come in? - he asked.
- Of course, thank you. It's so attentive.
- Sorry, but can I get a coffee?
- Sure, serve yourself. - Ellis smiled.
- I hope I don't disturb you.
- No, I was...just...trying to make notes and spend the day somehow. - said Ellis, while sitting at the kitchen counter. - Actually, I am glad for the company. A bit.
- A bit. - Sean repeated.
- Sorry, but shouldn't you be working?
- I teach at the university. Today I only have lessons in the afternoon.
- Oh, okay. Sound great. - said, Ellis. - Then it seems that we are two lucky people.
- Yes, maybe.
- What do you teach?
- Business Law.
- Sounds very serious but interesting. - said, Ellis appreciatively. Sean took a sip from his coffee and kindly smiled.
- What? I mean it. - said Ellis, seeing Sean's facial expression.
- You are too polite. It's not that exciting but... Yes, I like it.
- That's the point. - said Ellis.
- And what about you? What are you writing about?
- Women's situation in the business world designed for men. - said Ellis.
- Wow.
- I worked for 7 years for a company. I dealt with foreign affairs. Since then, I have in mind that I'll write about it. So...now...I do.
- Sounds, great. It's a very strong theme. - said Sean appreciatively.
- Maybe I'll ask you about law issues.
- Okay. I'm ready Ms. FamousWriter. - said Sean jokingly. - Now, I am here to help you. Do you need any help?
- Uhm...not really. Nothing serious.But...maybe...you could help me write notes...Brainstorming. I'm trying to form another chapter and I need notes. But writing...It's impossible.
- Okay. My lesson is at 2 PM. Where should we start? - asked Sean.
Ellis led him to her working desk, where her notebook lay, and start dictating. A bit later it was like a group project, they perfectly worked together.
- Uhm...we must stop it here because I'm going to be late. Tomorrow afternoon?
- Sure, thank you, Sean. It was really kind of you. - said Ellis gratefully.
For 3 or 4 days Sean visited Ellis every day to help her write her book.
-I don't know what to say, Sean. Your help is life-saving. - said Ellis, when they finished for the day. I'm genuinely grateful.
-No problem, Ellis. I'm glad to help you out.
-Before you go, can I offer you my mother's cake? She visited us yesterday. Or how can I thank you?
-The coffee is enough. -smiled Sean.
-I've never seen you smile (like that) before. -slipped out of Ellis' mouth. After that, they both remained silent in confusion. They both felt that maybe they were getting too close to each other.
