Elijah had been busy after the wedding and he'd been put in a depressing spot when he hadn't seen Anthony. The man had been upset and as hard as the constable tried to understand, he couldn't. It felt like a secret that should have been obvious. So when the man still wasn't seen when he came home, he didn't try to seek him out. He respected Anthony's privacy and knew the man had a lot going on in his life that he wouldn't share and so Elijah couldn't try to understand or stick his nose into.
So he had gone home and relaxed but after a little while, he couldn't rest. He went out to the bar, but it was only a short time after Anthony and Harry had left, it seemed. That was very unsettling. What he overheard from some of the others in the bar was worse. He clenched his teeth and found himself not interested in a drink.
After going home, and struggling to sleep, he spent the next day looking for Anthony. It was a bust as he hadn't seen him. It made him worried as well as frustrated that he didn't know what to do in this situation. He longed to go to the church and spill everything out to Gabriel as he would listen, but he also couldn't find himself telling that man everything and see the disappointment in his eyes at how far Elijah had fallen. He wondered if he'd even be allowed back into the church, but the man seemed kind enough.
He felt depressed and barely got through the day before he headed home and spent the evening petting his cat, hoping he'd see the man come through the door.
Elijah still hadn't figured out what he'd say when he did.
