There's a boy at the door for you Elaine's mother said talking to Elaine at the door of her room what boy? Elaine asked he said his name was John her mother said looking unhappy her voice strained he's here? Elaine asked I’ve just said he is her mother said Elaine frowned how did he know where I lived? how do I know her mother said where is he? Elaine asked by the front door now get along and see him and then tell me what is going on her mother said Elaine went down stars to the front door and there he was the boy John standing by the door how did you know where I lived? she asked him leaning by the door unsure what to do or say more than that I asked someone in the village and they said here I got the bus here from my village he added O I see she said looking at his eyes hazel and bright well invite him in Elaine don't need to stand on the doorstep the mother said ok Elaine said and invited John in and they walked into the living room where he was invited to sit on the brown settee   I’m Elaine's mother and you are John?   yes,I'm John he said we go to school together he added on the bus he put in after a few seconds silence I see the mother said she sat in an armchair opposite him and Elaine sat on the settee beside John Elaine's not mentioned you before the mother said eyeing the boy seriously O I see he said looking at Elaine never thought to say Elaine said looking at her slippers are you friends at school? the mother said yes he said we are Elaine looked at her mother hoping he wouldn't mention the kiss he'd given her we share an interest in birds and butterflies he said gazing at the mother birds and butterflies? the mother said yes I bring my book to school and we exchange what we've seen he said O I see the mother said unsure of the boy but thinking he seemed all right can I get you a drink of tea? the mother asked he looked at Elaine then at the mother yes that would be lovely he said one sugar if I may he added the mother nodded and smiled and went out to the kitchen leaving the two alone why did you come here? Elaine asked looking at the boy I wanted to see you he said and I didn't want to wait until Monday he added O I see she said feeling uncertain feeling unsure what she should say or do you don't mind do you? I didn't think I came on impulse I don't usually but I couldn't get you out of my mind he said really? she said a smile lingering on her lips but not breaking out yes he said ever since you got off the bus on Friday I’ve been like this and he leaned forward and planted a gentle kiss.
