The morning would have been great, except Emma was still on some sort of emotional high from her date the night before. They had spent hours at the club, and she had had fun. Not only that, but she hadn’t absorbed emotions from anybody else. She even danced. Jesse was happy for her, he was. But he couldn’t help but be annoyed that she was so happy because of Ethan.
