I am pretty sure she has a concussion because she was just checking me out. Which I don't think she has ever done before. Emma never saw me in that way, she only had eyes for Tuck.
I couldn't help but realize how much she had changed and I think she was realizing the same about me. I watched her rest and it was the most peace I had felt in a while minus the stress of everything that had just conspired.
As she laid there I texted my assistant to tell her to cancel my guest appearance later that evening and to let the owner know I am going to let Emma sleep as long as she will through the night here. We were in the spare room they had at the club. I had spent many nights here when I was just starting out and had no money and nowhere to eat. Bob, the owner, took care of me. He saw potential when no one else did. I was a bar back and he let me get a song in here and there when he knew the right people were coming by. It paid off. I always felt like I owed it to Bob to come back, but every time I come back he does it as a fundraiser to different charities. He was such a good man.
Emma was already asleep. I knew she would fight me when she woke up and would walk out of my life, again. I really needed to talk to her and get off my chest what I have held in about my feelings as well a very important detail about the man she called her husband. I needed to stay awake to watch her and wake her up occasionally to check and make sure she was ok, but my eyelids got heavy and I drifted off.
