It was nightfall now and Anthony still wasn't back. Elaine was actually starting to worry. 'Was he ok? When would he be back?' She knew she shouldn't have these thoughts but she couldn't stand the thought of someone so polite and sincere to be shot down.<br/><br/>Elaine's mother got up from the parlor and announced that it was time for bed. Elaine went to her room and waited until she knew her mother was sleeping and then she went back downstairs. She decided she would wait up until he got home. She had to know for sure he was ok and she wouldn't sleep until she knew. The house was cold so she started a small fire in the kitchen stove and grabbed her shawl and sat.
