A knock on the door happens.
Emery opens it.
"Kalen?! You are alive! Oh my gosh, you look terrible. Come inside."
"Thanks, sis."
"What have you been doing?"
"Well, I have been pretty busy with work. I am a detective. It's been pretty busy with everything."
"I see. Well since Christmas and Thanksgiving are almost here. Why don't you join me and Alex for both? I thought you were dead."
"I'm not thankfully. Is there a guy I need to intimidate to make sure he is good for you? Plus I would love to join you for that!"
"Alex has already been intimidated enough. I will make plans for us. So what made you decide to stop by?"
"I heard you were alive Emery and I wanted proof of that."
"Wow, I am so glad someone cares about my well-being."
"Many of us do."
Cody comes to Emma's door and she opens it and is ready for the festival.
"Emma you look so stunning!" He tells her.
"Thank you, Cody!"
Emma and Cody went on their date.
Emery has to work late and overtime.
Emery helps her patients.
"Alright so you need to do these exercises for your wrists and over time you will be good as new." She said to Ms.Jefferson.
"Thank you, Emery!"
"Of course!"
She waits for her upcoming appointments and Alex stopped at the desk dropping off Emery's lunch.
"Attention staff. We have not been doing so well financially. I'll update all of you if anything changes."
Said the leading physical therapist.
*Not doing too well? What does that mean?*
Emery comes home stressed and tired. Alex happens to be at her house in time.
"Well you look like today was hard."
"You do too."
"Bad news?"
"What bad news do you have?"
"Well my workplace isn't doing so well financially. I don't know if it will get better or worse."
"That is what my hospital said."
"Do you think there is a money shortage nationally?"
"I don't think so."
"So do you feel up for a date tonight?"
"It is nice of you to offer. I should probably get some sleep since I had a long day at work."
"Alright. I just miss seeing you."
"I'm sorry I haven't had much time."
"I hope to see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow Alex."
He kissed her and she went off.
Alex started his night shift at the hospital.
"Maybe it's for the best Rosalie. I mean we work so much we don't have time for love."
"If he is supposed to be with you and it is supposed to happen then things will work out. Besides he is pretty cute with you. I see you two as Alery or even Emex."
Emery rolled her eyes.
"I don't think it's gonna work Rosalie. You and Jürgen however can work out."
"I don't know either. So how has it been to see your brother in town?"
"Oh, Kalen. Yeah, it's been good to see him again. He isn't as psychotic as the rest of the family."
Kalen takes a guest room that Emery offered and he is there trying to finish things with work.
Cody and Emma work with each other.
"I had fun at the festival."
"Me too."
"Emma! Where is my article?!"
"Coming!"
"You are fired this article is terrible and dating Cody to try to get his place. Wow."
"I will go get my stuff then." She says and packs her office and Cody went to make things right with their boss.
Emma arrives back at her apartment.
Jürgen comes to stay with Alex.
"How are things going with Emery?"
"I'm not sure, to be honest. I haven't seen her in a month because of how crazy our schedules have been. Do you think she will still want me after this?"
"Alex if she feels you are right how could she not say no? I mean let's be honest we are some pretty attractive guys."
Alex laughs.
"Yeah, and more can steal her heart."
"I'm serious though. If she is right then she will say yes. I know you are to be with her I just feel it. You and Emma didn't go well."
"Well, Emma is her sister."
"What?"
"Yes, Emma is her sister."
"Well, you know the attractive girls when you see them."
Alex laughs.
"A girl can look attractive but she can be manipulative. One cannot look at appearance they have to look for the heart. If you look for the appearance you get too sucked up in the game of lies."
"That is very true. Come on let's set your house up for Christmas."
"Alright!"
Emery has to work some more overtime shifts with the physical therapy office.
Maybe things won't be too bad. Right?
"Emma, you didn't try to manipulate me did you?"
"She did!" Her boss says and she leaves.
What will I do now?
