Grace got out of school in a hurry. She had to get home and ask Eli if he
had seen her letters. She wouldn't use the word letters, though. Instead
she would ask him if he had seen the papers she had in the car.
That's when she saw him. Grace ran towards Eli.
"Eli thank God you're here!" She said as she ran towards him.
"I didn't know you missed me that much." He said with a small smile on his face. "Your mom wanted me to pick you guys up."
As he said that Jessie was running towards the car in a hurry. "Eli, I'm kind of going to Katie's. Is it okay if I get a ride from her?"
"Yeah, sure. See ya later." He said, not really caring.

On their way to the house Grace really wanted to ask Eli about the notes. She wanted to ask him in a way that didn't sound desperate.
"Um…. Eli did I leave some papers here this morning? You know, the ones you asked about." She asked.
"Uh… Yeah. You left them. If it makes you feel any better I didn't read them. I figured they were kind of important." He said, looking directly at her.
It's okay, they aren't that important." She said, very relieved that he hadn't read them.
~ She looked relieved when I told her I hadn't read them. What if she finds out I did? What if she never forgives me for reading them?
"So what did you do today?"
"Oh, nothing."
