Adam shook his head as Joseph went off to find Elissa. He doubted that Elissa would be happy to see the man, she’d seemed pretty hurt. Had to be to finish off the one bottle of scotch. “The sooner he is rid of her the better, I think.” He said to no one in particular before going back to his seat. He picked up his glass and continued drinking N.

Elissa moved closer to Joseph when he’d put his arm around her waist, though she still remained asleep. 

Several hours after Joseph had found her, Elissa began to stir. She had an awful headache and felt like she was going to throw up. The room was dark, but it wasn’t as cold as she’d remembered. It took her a moment to realize that someone else was there in bed with her. “Joseph?” She muttered, her eyes finally focusing. She frowned as she saw the ring on the chain. Slowly she reached for it. It was her ring. He’d lied about not having it. Elissa questioned what was truth and what was a lie with him. Why was he even there? She couldn’t remember him arriving at her room. Last she could remember he’d left with Rhea.
