"Elijah, do I have an ID?" Makayla asked.
Elijah replied, "Why the sudden question?"
Makayla said, "Everyone has one, and I want one too."
Elijah said, "You have one, it's at home."
Makayla smiled, "Alright, give it to me when we get home."
Elijah found a seat and asked, "What do you need the ID for?"
Makayla pulled out a new phone from her bag, "Elijah, I bought a new phone. I want to get a SIM card using my ID."
Elijah was taken aback.
The bodyguard explained, "Makayla bought the phone when she was shopping yesterday evening. She got a SIM card using Elisa's ID."
Elijah was surprised by Makayla's change. He comforted Makayla, "You can use your own ID to get a SIM card."
Makayla asked, "Elijah, when are we going home?"
Elijah replied, "We can't go home until after the banquet. Don't worry, Makayla, your ID is safe with me."
Makayla opened her phone, "Elijah, can you teach me how to use this phone?"
Elijah patiently agreed.
...
Mike said to Violette, "Violette, stop staring, you're zoning out."
Violette awkwardly looked away.
Elijah was teaching Makayla how to use her phone. He was very serious and patient. Violette hadn't seen him this gentle in a long time. That was why she was so engrossed watching Elijah.
She took a sip of water, trying to hide her fluster.
Mike asked, "Why hasn't Kylee come yet? Isn't his seat next to you?"
