Dillon pushed him towards his room and said, “Then get to packing.” Dillon was really just trying to get Elliott away from Kay so he could ask how Elliott was doing after hearing she was going to be getting married in a month.
By now, all of Elliott’s troop knew Elliott was in love with Kay most of them had known he liked her before she came to their troop, but now it was clear how much he cared about her and they were all worried about what would happen now.
