Emily walked up to Vernon.  They stayed silent for a moment. 

"So, I got fired." Emily tried to laugh but it sounded wrong. She just wanted to cry but she already embarrassed herself in front of Vernon, she couldn't do it anymore.

"I'm sorry, I was distracting you."

"It's not your fault."

"I guess."

"It's okay."

"Are you okay?"

"I guess." Vernon reached over and grabbed her hand.

"You have a scratch on your hand."

"It's okay." 

"No, it's not." Vernon put her hand in his and gave it a small squeeze. "I'm sorry."

"I know." Emily couldn't stop her heart from racing.

"Let's go eat somewhere that doesn't have such a cheesy diner theme." Emily nodded at his suggestion. They started walking towards a nice restaurant down the street, hand in hand.

"Hey, Vernon?"

"Yes, Emily?"

"I like you."

"I know."
