Another...
Ella's POV
Stephanie dropped by earlier to say hi to the guys and talk to Ranger. I don't think she stopped by her desk because all of the drawings were still in her drawer. I know she spent a lot of time in Ranger's office though. I hope that they talked, but knowing them, they avoided talking about their feelings at all costs.
I was emptying the waste paper baskets around the office. This is usually Luis job but he is out of town visiting his brother so I am filling in for him. I reach Ranger's office and dump out his bin and see a crumpled up piece of yellow paper. I know that the previous drawings have been done on this type of paper so I let my inner snoop free and smoothed the paper out.
I gasped when I saw a very life like drawing of Stephanie sleeping with a baby on her chest. Below the drawing Ranger wrote, 'What if that was mine?' This explained why Stephanie was in here so long. She had a nap with her niece and Ranger took the opportunity to daydream and draw.
I pocketed this new drawing and checked to see where Tank was. I wanted to show him this one before I hid it away with all of the other drawings. He wasn't in his office but I did see him waiting for the elevator when I was about to give up and head back to my apartment.
"Tank, come and look at this." I discretely showed Tank the drawing so that it wasn't clearly visible by the security camera. The look on Tank's face when he saw the drawing was one of shock and surprise.
"Ella, I was wondering if I could get your help in my apartment. I am cooking a meal for Lula tonight and I need your opinion on what sauce to make for the steaks."
I agreed and followed Tank into his apartment. As soon as we were free from the RangeMan security camera Tank said, "Wow Ella, I think we really need to show these to Stephanie. If she realises that Ranger is second guessing his decision about relationships then maybe she'll say something to him."
I agreed and hoped one of them would say something before it was too late.
I can keep going it you'd like.
