Connors Point Of View

“Connor, CONNOR!”
I look up startled and see someone in the distance.

“Connor, it’s me! Connor!”

I look again, its Sapphy. Did she see Elvira? Does she know about Ingo?
I raise my hand and wave back.

“Connor, come back! Tea’s ready!”

I get up and walk back to where Sappy is. Is it time for tea? I quickly ask her why she is here.

She says she is looking for me. But it’s not time for tea. I look down at her watch and see that the time is all messed up.

“Oh, Saph. You went into the water with it on,” I say.

I notice that it is all wet. I see tears start to form in her eyes. I comfort her. I know how much that watch means to her.

All of a sudden she confronts me about Elvira. I pretend not to know what she is talking about. I tell her it’s all in her imagination.

I tell her that I went swimming after I cleaned the shed.

“But Connor- it was this morning that you cleaned out the shed. It’s way past seven o’clock in the evening now.”

I grab her wrist to look at her watch. I explain that it could not be too late.

“Get off me, Connor. It’s evening, can’t you see that? Look at the sun. Look how low it is.”

I tell her that I fell asleep, but she still is bugging me about Elvira. I still tell her she’s imagining it.

We walk back to the cottage in silence and I go straight to bed.
