Emily's Pov:
"Emi."
I felt a slight tug at my fingers, which brought me out of my reverie. I realized the situation I was in, where I would be caught like a snare in a trap any minute I let down my guard. I looked up to see him staring at me, his eyes held a usual expression of concern.
For a friend.
Yes. That's what he would always feel for me!
Concern.
Friendship.
As if I never deserved anything else.
I smiled at him, my lips curling up longer than I had expected them to, considering nobody in their right mind would like to be in my sleeves. He looked at me as if I had lost my brain a long time ago and he just had gotten time to realise it.
"Lily?"
"Yes, Eddie?"
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Well, I am more than okay if we put aside the fact that my bladder has been killing me for more than two hours and I wasn't able to blurt it out to you!"
"What! Why didn’t you tell me before?"
I shrugged.
