REJECTED BY LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY THREE
Sheriff Abraham clears his throat to silence the audience and begins to talk. “As I said before, reconvening is not something that we make a habit of doing. However, this is a special situation, and special situations calls for special methods. Because of this, the panel has rediscussed the situation before us and come up with a decision that we think is most right. The investigation of the assault and murder of Moira Fisher in July 1915 as well as other relevant and similar cases will be reopened. As our prime suspect, John will not be allowed to leave town during the course of this investigation. Also, we will…”Whatever the sheriff is saying after that, Eloise does not bother listening and neither does all those who are around her. There are those who are cheering while some others are grumbling and making their dissatisfaction obvious. Angela is sobbing and David is holding in her in his arms and rubbing her back gently. Mary Lou is clapping excitedly and Shirley is thanking God.
REJECTED BY LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY TWO
Everywhere in the courtroom, there are exchanges of glares that would have made the faintest of hearts too nervous to breathe. John is shooting daggers out of his eyes at Shirley; Shirley is in turn giving him her deathliest stare. Both Mary Lou and Eloise are irritated by John’s demeanor which seems to not have been cracked the slightest so they are looking at him with utmost irritation. Sheriff Abraham and the rest of the panel are all irritated too, but their irritation is not directed at anyone in particular. They seem to be annoyed that the process which they had just ended is about to be revived and more of their time will be taken. Eloise can see that they are all considering their options. They know that whatever they decide will not only affect this subject matter but will be a determinant of how the rets of the town sees them moving forward.Sheriff Abe rises to his feet and forces a smile at Shirley and the rest of the audience, a failed attempt at portraying coolness. He g
REJECTED BY LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
Eloise and Mary Lou walk to the courthouse in silence. They are both too nervous to say anything. As they walk, they notice all the stares and whispers directed at them from people who are passing by. Eloise knows that majority of those in the town do not believe them. They choose instead to believe her father’s defense of she and Mary Lou having a vendetta against him. However, she also knows that there are still people in the town who believe them, however few they may be. Just the other day, she had been approached by a young woman at the market who wanted to thank her for being so brave and gave her a basket of oranges. Eloise wanted to correct her that she did not feel brave, but she took the basket anyway.They arrive at the courthouse several minutes before nine. When they get there, the courthouse is mostly empty so that Eloise and Mary Lou both watch the people fill the room and take up the seats slowly. This process reminds Eloise eerily of that time when she innocently went
REJECTED BY LOVE CHAPTER TWENTY
It has been a week and half since they arrived at Blue Creek yet it feels like a whole year to Stanley. Ever since their encounter with John, the direction of the situation had changed tremendously. The interaction had sparked several discussions and worries among the townsfolk which reached the sheriff who has now set a hearing for both parties which is in a day. In addition to that, Moira’s parents, David and Angela had caught wind of the situation and were now visiting Eloise and Mary Lou so that they were all on a team.All of these were great and exactly what they wanted. The only problem is that Stanley has begun to question why exactly he is here in Blue Creek. When he agreed to postpone their honeymoon to come here, he remembers them agreeing to begin in their honeymoon in this town. Now, nothing of such is happening. Eloise spends her entire day with Mary Lou and Moira’s parents, plotting what they will say to the sheriff and the town elders at the hearing while Stanley has t
REJECTED BY LOVE CHAPTER NINETEEN
Mary Lou leads the way towards the small front door. She hesitates a little before putting her fist up and knocking on the door. Then she takes a step back, waiting for a response. For about thirty seconds, there is no response. Just as Mary Lou raises her hand to knock again, the door swings open to reveal a short elderly woman. She has freckles on her face and her hair is completely grey with no strand of black.“Hello,” she says.“Hello ma’am,” Mary Lou says. “It’s me, Mary Lou. I was here two weeks ago.”“I remember you. You’re back.” Shirley’s face is pale and expressionless.“Yes,” Mary Lou says, then she steps aside so that Shirley can see Stanley and Eloise who are standing behind her. “Shirley, this is your granddaughter, Eloise.”Immediately Shirley hears this, her face gains instant color as she tightens her jaw and her eyebrows crease into a frown. “My granddaughter?” she asks. Her voice which had been very stern just seconds ago cracks. “Eloise?”“Hello, ma’am,” Eloise s
REJECTED BY LOVE CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
The first thing Mary Lou does when she sees Eloise and Stanley the next day is to apologize for her mother’s meeting with them. Stanley still finds it baffling while Eloise dismisses the apology, telling Mary Lou she is more than familiar with the woman that is Greta Clark. They are on their way to Huntington, a town two borders away from Blue Creek and in which Shirley, Eloise’s grandmother is living. They are in a carriage; the driver of which Stanley has paid in excess to carry them wherever they may need to go while they are in Blue Creek.That morning, Stanley had woken up with great excitement and he shook Eloise awake too like a child on Christmas day. Eloise was startled to be jolted awake but settled down the moment she saw her lover’s face.“Someone is up early,” Eloise said.“Someone needs to get up too and begin showing me around Blue Creek.”“Oh honey, we cannot do that today. Mary Lou is taking us to see my grandmother, remember?” Just like that, Stanley’s excitement va

The room is not like their apartment. It is not spacious and it is most definitely not homely. But it will do, Eloise thinks. There is one double bed in the left-hand corner of the room, a wardrobe on the opposite wall and a dresser right by the window. The walls are painted a dull grey that has already begun to peel off in several places. When Stanley sits on the bed, it makes a creaking sound that immediately annoys Eloise. “This is so small,” Eloise groans as she opens the wardrobe.“Relax,” Stanley says with a chuckle. “It’s not like this is our house. We are only going to be here for a while.”Eloise turns around to face him with a smile. She still cannot believe how supportive he is being. She walks away from the wardrobe and stops in front of him on the bed. Then she puts both of her legs on each side of his and sits on his laps, straddling him.“You are being so great,” she says to him. They stare into each other’s eyes for a few seconds before they both close the distance be
REJECTED BY LOVE CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Every time that Eloise returns to Blue Creek, something always manages to be different. It could be something as simple as a new baby in the Wheatley house or even a few new businesses opening up. No matter what, the town is always expanding one way or another; that is a constant. Another constant is the kind of welcome she receives. The last time she was here when her father had just fallen ill, the townsfolk went out of their way to visit and welcome her, to Eloise’s chagrin. However, this time as she enters town on the back of a carriage with Stanley beside her and Mary Lou opposite them, Eloise cannot help but notice some degree of hostility or apathy towards their presence. They pass several townsfolk, most of whom she recognizes and who recognize her as well. They stare into the carriage as though to see who it is, then direct their attention elsewhere when they spot them. Eloise notices this along the way but cannot ponder over it for too long. Stanley is excited beside her an

“That cannot be,” Eloise says, staring into the space above Mary Lou’s head. There is a painting hanging on the wall in the direction that she is staring but Eloise cannot really see it. She cannot see anything for this information has made her mind foggy. “You told me all your grandparents were dead,” Stanley whispers to Eloise even though Mary Lou can also hear him clearly. “That’s what I was told,” Eloise says quickly. They have built their infant marriage on a foundation of trust and truthfulness, she cannot afford to have anything shake that foundation, even by a little bit. Eloise had never met any of her grandparents. Her father told her that his own parents died when he was younger and so did her mother’s father. Her mother’s mother on the other hand, died shortly after her daughter, Eloise’s mother died, he said. “You saw her?” Eloise asks Mary Lou.“With my own two eyes,” Mary Lou replies gently. “But that is not the big news and I think that you should prepare your mind
