Elijah — Lee Wardlow

The Sherwood Series Elijah I would be the first person to tell you that I'm an anxious guy. I have loved Jenny Hartfield since probably the day that she walked down the stairs to go to our Junior prom with me. She took my breath away. I have admired her since she knocked Tommy Ward's teeth loose. That was in the first grade. I knew then that she was strong and didn't need anybody until her parents died. Then she needed me, and I was there for her. I was there for her, a little too much after Don, her dad died. That is when we first had sex. I thought maybe I could keep her as my best friend, my sidekick. My lover too without complicating the relationship with marriage. What was I thinking? I was afraid of losing her before I even sealed the deal, as my grandfather said. He set me straight. I got over myself and well the rest is history. She had something she was hiding from me though because Jenny wanted to know that she was loved by me first and foremost. Boy talk about being anxious…
