"Cherry what am I going to do?" Wanda was crying. After her father's visit yesterday she was badly shaken up and she barely slept that night. She and Elliot left home together and he dropped her off at Cherry's place before heading to work, telling her he'd pick her up when he was done so they could go to the art supply store. "Have you told him?" Cherry asked, she was very concerned."No. I can't tell him." "Why can't you? He can help you." "I'm not giving him any money and I'm definitely not going to ask Elliot for money." "I'm not saying you should give him money." Cherry said. "Elliot can help you with the police or something.""I mentioned calling the cops on him, that should scare him off.""I doubt it." Cherry said. "If he came here all the way from Boston I don't think that'll scare him off." Wanda wiped her tears with a tissue and sniffled. "I don't want Elliot to know about this." "Hopefully he doesn't and you'll be able to sort things out but the moment I feel you're i

"Elliot what is this?" Peter dumped the pictures in front of his son. Elliot had just arrived at his parents' house but Peter didn't even give him chance to breathe. He picked the pictures up and looked at them confused. He recognized Wanda but not the man with her. "Did you send someone to watch her?" "So you don't know what is happening?" Peter asked ignoring Elliot's question."No I don't but you haven't answered me dad." He said."I received these pictures in the mail today." He said taking off his glasses "Someone has been watching her." Elliot rubbed his face in frustration and sat down. What was Wanda up to?"How can you not know your fiancee has been meeting a man secretly?" Peter yelled. The older man was upset, not just because something was going on with Wanda but because it meant someone was stalking her and probably his son too."I'll talk to Wanda." Elliot said. "I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for this." Peter relaxed in his seat, "I'll find out about who's

Elliot was in a good mood, as he was getting ready to meet Tara, he was humming a tune and dancing. His excitement was through the roof. He had changed outfits three times already before deciding to go with the fourth, a black graphic tee with blue jeans and a pair of Nike sneakers Tara had gotten for him on their third anniversary. Smiling to himself, he sprayed some perfume and styled his hair. He gave himself one final look before leaving his room. "Are you heading somewhere Elliot?" Wanda asked him as she saw him skip down the stairs. Elliot stopped in his tracks, he had forgotten about her. He turned and looked at her. His distraction. "Uhh. Work." He said. "It's important." "Oh, I thought you weren't going in today." "Yeah me too but I have to." This was awkward for him. "Is there a problem?" "No no." She shook her head. "I'm going to start painting today." "That's cool." He said. "I need to leave now, see you later." Elliot practically ran out of the house, it felt stuffy
