It is raining outside, forcing Henry to squeeze in close so both of you can stay under the awning. You can see the writing circle and your parents-in-law watching you through the frosted glass of the door —some of the writers titillated, the in-laws concerned.
"I have been trying to get hold of you for ages!" Henry says, impatient that you would make his life hard. "Have you changed your number?" (or are you just ignoring his calls?)
"You need to be careful. That 'Elliot Parry' you have been hanging out with is bad news." How he knows that you have been spending time with Elliot you can only guess. "You are in danger." He says, echoing the words from last night. "The people he hangs out with have a tendency to disappear.
"I have people who can protect you." He says boastfully —you can see he probably believes this, but how likely is he to actually 'have' people who can do anything? How could he even know anything about Elliot's nature?
What do you do?
