After their shift, although he wanted to have dinner with her, Eli didn't force his way when Belle said no. She didn't even go back to Bird's Paradise with him. When he passed by her house, it was dark. [It seemed like Neon isn't home yet.] He thought and continued his way to his parents' house.
Ever since Belle moved to the same subdivision as his parents, he seldom returned to his own property.
Andrei heard the familiar car engine of his uncle getting closer to their home. He looked outside the window and watched him get into the garage to park his car.
As soon as Eli entered the house, he pulled him over to the couch and showed him something from his writing board.
'Did you have a fight with Belle?' were the words written by his nephew. Eli shook his head in response and Andrei wrote something again that caused him to feel awful. His nephew was asking him about what happened in the morning.
