But you can't be this cruel to Elijah! Do you have any idea how much he misses you?! When the wind blows, he thinks of you. When it rains, when thunder roars, when snow falls, or when hailstorms hit, you're the first thing on his mind! He worries you might forget your umbrella on a rainy day, that thunder might frighten you, or that you might get too cold when it snows or hails! On countless chilly nights, Elijah stubbornly refuses to go inside and sleep, choosing instead to wait outside, hoping the first thing you'll see when you cback is him! Do you know how he's been coping since the day he started missing his mommy? Do you understand the agony of yearning for someone day and night? He's waited and longed for you for so long, only to call you 'mommy' for a couple of days before you decide to leave him again! Elysia, doesn't your heart ache at all?!" The more Tarquin spoke of Elijah, the more evident his disdain for Elysia became.
He believed Elijah was abandoned by Elysia! He felt sorry for Elijah! He knew how much Elijah missed her, just as he did! The torment of missing someone without the chance to see them, the constant yearning, was just unbearable! Elysia was stunned into silence.
"You've got it all wrong. Elijah misses his biological mother, not me! At best, I'm just his Blossom!" Tarquin ground his teeth. "Who's mistaken here, you or me, unwilling to face the truth?!" Elysia frowned. "Why wouldn't I want to acknowledge it? If Elijah were my own, I'd be over the moon! There's no question of not wanting to acknowledge him." Tarquin responded bitterly, "I've only ever been with you. Tell me, if Elijah isn't your son, then whose is he?!" Elysia was taken aback. "What do you mean you've only ever been with me? Don't talk nonsense!" Tarquin fixed her with a steely look, each word heavy with significance. "In my entire life, there's only been one woman, and that was six years ago in an airport lounge! Elijah and I, we've both been missing her every day!" Elysia's breath hitched, shock written all over her face.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Her heartbeat thundered in her ears, deafening.

He loves his mommy so much, how could he just not want her anymore because of you? I didn't think much of it then, but now it all makes sense. Elijah must have realized you're the mother he's been longing for, that's why he asked you to be his mommy!" Elysia's heart raced, her head shaking in denial.
No, no, no, if Elijah were hers, how could she not know? She would have known if she'd carried him for nine months! And if Elijah was sure she was his mother, why wouldn't he tell her?
Just this morning, Elijah was crying because she was leaving. Why didn't he just tell her the truth to make her Π stay? If Elijah had told her they were mother and son, she would never leave him! Liar, liar, he must be lying to keep her from leaving! Elysia's mind was in turmoil, refusing to accept it.
"I don't care how many women you've been with, but nothing m happened between us, and I'm not Elijah's mother. Just go! Don't makecall the police!"
Inside, Elliot was getting anxious. He knew the truth about Elijah could no ruth about longer be hidden. Creak- The door opened from the inside, and Elliot stepped out.
