Paths to Healing

Emily turned to Alex. "Eh, what do you mean?"

Alex replied coldly, "He saved you. Aren't you grateful for what he did?"

Emily didn't think much but nodded her head in agreement. Julian had saved her from Cole and Clare, taken her to the hospital, and kept her little secret after the check-up. She truly appreciated what he did for her today.

"So, you like him?" Alex's tone sharpened, his deep frown etching lines across his forehead.

Emily turned to look at him, her eyes narrowing as if what she heard made no sense at all. "I do appreciate what he did for me, but why does that have anything to do with me liking him or not?"

"Well, if you don't like him, why would you let him sit by your bed while you were sleeping?" Alex replied without thinking.
