Eleanor glanced at her watch and said to the man on the sofa, "You should go home and get some rest."
Ian stood up and asked, "Can I take Princess downstairs for a bit?"
Before Eleanor could answer, Evelyn agreed. "Daddy, you have to take good care of Princess!"
"I will," Ian chuckled, glancing at Princess, who seemed to understand and followed him out the door.
After tucking her daughter into bed, Eleanor returned to her study to organize the day's materials. Her thoughts drifted back to Sophia, to the way she had looked up at the birds in the sky. She must be longing to spread her wings and return to her career.
Eleanor's heart felt heavy, the weight of her responsibility pressing down on her even more.
The next morning, Ian took his daughter to school, and Eleanor left for the lab shortly after. It was late spring, and she dressed lightly for the day. On her way to the lab, she noticed the two cars of her security detail trailing behind her.
In the lab's parking lot, Eleanor got out of her car but didn't head straight for the main entrance. Instead, she walked over to one of the security vehicles.
The bodyguard inside immediately got out to greet her politely. "Miss Sutton, is there something we can help you with?"
"Hello, I was hoping you might have some news about Mansfield Ellington. Do you know how he is?" Eleanor asked, holding onto a sliver of hope that she might hear something about Mansfield, as it was highly likely they were his former subordinates.
The lead bodyguard shook his head. "Sorry, we don't know Major General Ellington's whereabouts."
From their expressions, Eleanor could tell they weren't lying. They genuinely didn't know.
