Luther was not back yet, and so Elizabeth did not let Eli go back living alone until Luther was back from his trip.
The next day, after leaving his community, he saw the tall and slender youth leaning against the bus stop sign.
Eli was not sure what time Roman woke up for him to make it on time there. He felt something break in his heart, seemed like Roman was slowly breaking down all his walls.
The boy's long legs were straight; he wore a pair of black jeans with a rusty red velveteen coat; both of his hands were stuffed in his pockets, and with indifference on his handsome face, he displayed a cold demeanour.
Eli's eyes brightened and he trotted over, feeling that today, the other boy was tall, handsome and stylish.
When Roman saw him approaching, his expressionless face suddenly revealed a smile and he automatically stretched out a hand to hold his.
Seeing that the one beside him kept stealing glances at him, he lowered his eyes and asked, "What are you looking at?"
