Mari begrudgingly went to work the next day still thinking about Emma. She didn't even remember the fact that she called her late last night so she was surprised and excited when Emma texted her during lunchtime. Mari literally spit out her diet coke got sad about that then got excited again. Emma had texted Mari saying that she got her voicemail and said that she was flattered and that she wasn't ready to date right now but to call her back in a week and see then. Just off of that, Mari was able to get through to meetings, an angry phone call, and a bad email. That night she ended right back up at the bar, after all, it was a habit, but not because of that crappy day but, for celebration. After she had two beers, Mari walked back to her apartment, changed, got in bed, and said "6 more days.", then she went out like a light.
