Every Way Back to You (Book One of The Home We Make Series)
Marc Hughes for Eli Knight (British Accent - Kent)
Eli Knight (British Accent - Kent)
Eli is a professional photographer, thirty years old, based in London. He's warm, confident and naturally charismatic without being arrogant about it — the kind of person who makes everyone in a room feel at ease without trying. Quick with a joke and possessed of a dry self aware humor that surfaces even in tense situations.
His narrative voice is direct and emotionally present — he feels things deeply and isn't afraid to sit with those feelings internally, but tends to convert emotion into action and presence rather than rumination. When fear or uncertainty hits he moves toward the problem rather than away from it.
He loves fiercely and protectively and the emotional core of the story rests heavily on the listener feeling that through his narration.

(shows his warmth and dry humor; lighter tone): I kept myself busy at the hob, quietly moving around as I got breakfast going. Nothing fancy, just scrambled eggs and toast. But the sizzle and warmth helped settle my leftover nerves from the night before. I kept an ear tuned toward the bedroom, just in case, but I didn't expect him to show up too soon.
(shows his emotional depth and protectiveness; mid intensity): Rowan was the most gentle, patient, and thoughtful person I knew. He gave people far too much grace when they didn't deserve it and was always careful with everyone else's feelings. But he never expected anyone to return the favour. He didn't deserve any of this.
(shows his intensity and internal voice under pressure; high intensity): What if Rowan didn't wake up? If I'd waited just a little longer to check on him... My jaw clenched so tightly that it hurt. I couldn't get the image of Rowan lying on the floor out of my head. I couldn't stop seeing the blood on his face or the way his chest barely moved with each shallow breath.
