WHY?

For a moment they were confused as to what to do next, Pat wondered should he stay here for the night or leave.

Emily broke the awkward silence between them, "Can you stay here for tonight?" She hesitated in asking him but she didn't want to lose this opportunity and it was a good moment to fix things between them.

"Sure" he joined her in bed and they snuggled together draping a comforter over them.

Emily and Patrick lied facing each other and she used his arm as her pillow.

They both just stared at each other in silence, after some time Emily finally decided to address the Elephant in the room.

"So what's next, where is all of this going Patrick?" she looked straight at him while asking him the question.

Patrick caressed her cheeks lovingly, "Honestly, I am not sure"

Emily tightly closed her eyes trying to stop the tears flowing through them.
