It Worked!!

Emma stared at Daniel, her expression unreadable. She could see the vulnerability in his gaze and a part of her wanted to ease up to him but the other part, the one still sore from his terrible actions towards her, held back.

It wasn't going to be that easy. No matter how sorry he was, it still couldn't remove the hurt from her heart overnight. 

So Emma jerked her hand away and stared Daniel in the face.

"Don't do that. Don't try to play on my emotions just because I let you stay here for the night. Remember, we have nothing to do with each other." She said, her heart racing.

A flicker of sadness crossed Daniel's face, but he still faced Emma determinedly, "Maybe not now, but I'm not giving up, Emma. I know I messed up, but I'm trying to fix things." He said before he gently lay on the couch and closed his eyes unwilling to hear any more words.

Emma watched Daniel, her eyebrows scrunched up in a frown.
