ZORA'S POV"Make sure she doesn't miss her taking her meds at the proper times," the doctor said to me at the door of Freya's room. "Also make sure that you don't miss any of her doctor's appointments here." He suddenly smiled, a smile that lit up his tired face. "Freya will be okay, Ms Walter. She is free to leave now."With a wave at Freya, which was enthusiastically returned by her, the doctor left. I gave a sigh of relief as I shut the door after him. I turned to face the room. Freya was grinning from ear to ear. Her grin was infectious and I found myself grinning too. Today was the day we had all been looking forward to, the day Freya got discharged from the hospital. The past few days at the hospital had been tough, but it was all over now. We were going home. Katherine had been of invaluable help during these times. Though I hated to admit it, Elliot had too. As I walked further into the room, three pairs of eyes stared at me avidly."Say it! Say it!" Finn chanted as he bounced

ZORA'S POVI fiddled with the knickknacks littering my desk as I listened to him speak."But you're sure that she did nothing more than you what you just told me," Elliot said."I told you everything."Elliot grunted and muttered something about 'drastic measures'. He sounded really pissed, even more pissed than he had been about the posts circulating about me a few days ago."It's okay, Elliot. I think you are getting too worked up about this issue with Sharon. To tell the truth, I was sort of expecting something like this to happen after the news of the kid's paternity broke. So, you see... it's nothing really.""Don't say that, Zora. Don't brush it off as nothing. I was even thinking along the lines of getting a restraining order against Sharon. After all she is harassing you. This is like the second or third time she has pulled a stunt like this."I was too surprised to say anything for a moment. "A restraining order? For what exactly? Come on, you've got to be kidding me. It hasn

ZORA'S POVI stood at the door for a minute longer. Katherine glanced at me, grinned when she saw my demeanor and made shooing motions with her hands. I rolled my eyes at her and once more focused on the door. Goodness! I could not believe that I, Zora, a full grown woman, was as excited about this date with Elliot like a teenager who was about to go to the prom. I clutched my purse tightly, took a deep breath, schooled my expression- or attempted to-,opened the door and stepped outside. Elliot had been leaning towards the door in order to ring the doorbell. He straightened when he saw me. For what seemed to me like a really long moment, he looked at me from head to toe. He took his sweet time about it, and I felt like a bug trapped by the light, which was his gaze in this case.Color flooded my cheeks when his eyes met mine. The admiration in his eyes was enough to make my toes curl in pleasure. He looked at me with such intensity, such fervour, like I was the only woman in the world

ZORA'S POVI transferred the phone from one ear to other, and rummaged in my bag to confirm if I had forgotten anything of importance. I hadn't."Look, Elliot," I said into the phone. "I really want to talk and all, but at this time, I can't. I am sort of busy at the moment- in fact, very busy. So, I will have to drop the call now and maybe talk to you later.""Oh no. You don't. Don't end the call.""But-""You are busy. I know. I heard you the first time. But you are the boss of yourself and your brand, aren't you? I am pretty sure that you can postpone whatever it is you want to do or whatever function you are about to attend.""Oh. Really? And why would I do that?""Because I want to talk to you for a while longer and I know you want the same thing."I chuckled. "You are impossible and a tad bossy, Elliot. Has anyone ever told you that?""You might have... once or twice."I flicked my wrist to glance at my wrist watch. "This is 1o'clock in the afternoon, on a working day no less. H

ELLIOT'S POVKatherine and I were hunched over out cards. I eyed Zora and Drew who were grinning from ear to ear. They were looking far too relaxed and cocky. I narrowed my eyes at them. Zora saw me looking. Her grin got wider and she wiggled her brows."Well?" Drew said, drawing the word out.With a sigh, Katherine and I showed them our cards. Zora and Drew exchanged a look and threw down their cards."Jackpot!" Zora cried and gave a laughing Drew a high five. I groaned after I took a look at their cards. "Not again," I muttered."Yes again!" Drew said. "And guess what? This is just the beginning. We will keep beating you guys."I rolled my eyes. "Sheesh! Take it easy you two. It's not like you won the lottery or something."Katherine, who had been looking intently at Zora and Drew's cards, as though she was trying to find something to complain about, transferred her gaze from the cards to me. She shot me a glare. We had been playing a card game for the past hour while sitting cros
