He was standing outside the yard, straight as a statue.
Her heart suddenly started to pound. She quickly went back to her bed, grabbed her phone, and checked to see if he had called or texted her.
Nothing. He hadn't contacted her this morning. When did he get here? Why was he here so early? If she hadn't spotted him now, was he planning to wait outside quietly?
She quickly found a dress in her wardrobe, changed into it, and rushed downstairs.
When the front door opened, Elijah's dark eyes were looking at her. Violette, in a white dress, slowly stepped out.
He lifted his wrist and glanced at his watch. It was only seven in the morning. Why was she up so early? Weren't pregnant women supposed to be sleepy?
She walked to the gate and opened it. "Why are you here?" She asked, looking at him.
His eyes were bloodshot; he must not have slept well last night.
"I came to pick you up," He said quietly. "It's still early. You can sleep some more."
"Once I'm up, I can't sleep again."
"Then let's go for breakfast?" He suggested.
"I have tests today that require me to fast," She replied.
"Then let's go to the hospital now!" He worried about making her wait too long and being hungry.
She nodded, turned around, and went back to her room to get her bag. A while later, she came out with her bag.
Once in the car, she didn't immediately put on her seatbelt. "To Mercy Hospital."
"Alright."
