The planets bend between us

Chapter 13

On the flight back home, everyone remained silent. No one knew what to say. After losing Kate Joyner and fearing for their lives, everyone was just glad to be alive. Emily sat across from JJ. When the bomb went off and no one knew who was it, both were worried that the other was the one that was bombed. After becoming close from their night of sharing a bed, they didn't want to spend too long of a time not by each other's side.

The second Emily knocked on the door, her girlfriend's apartment door opened and she was met by her lover. She almost collapsed in Remi's arms.

"Oh, Emily. Thank god you are okay. I heard about the explosion on the news. And you didn't reply to my texts. And... are you okay?" She put her hands on Emily's cheeks, trying to get a good look at her.

"I'm fine, Remi. I'm sorry for not replying... it was my boss. That was in the explosion," Emily admitted as she got out of Remi's grasp. She walked to the kitchen and opened a bottle of wine. She poured some of it into a glass and drank all of it in a manner of seconds.

"Fuck," Remi murmured as she approached her girlfriend. "Are you okay?"

"He's fine, so I am. His friend, an ally working on the case with us, she was killed. But it's over. We caught the bastards."

Remi sighed with relief. "Thank god. How are you doing? That must have been scary."

Emily shrugged. She didn't know how she felt. She felt empty. She took another long drink of wine, draining the glass. She walked up to Remi, taking her hand. She pressed her lips against hers. Trying to feel something. Anything. She brought Remi to her bedroom. This is what she wanted. At least, it's what she thought she wanted.
