"Where are we going?" Leon asks, surprised by my sudden action.
"What does it look like? We're following Emily so we can grant her real wish." I don't turn around to face Leon as I speak, embarrassed that with my bold action has me willfully, and forcibly touch Leon.
There's no turning back now.
Never in a million years would I think I'd be helping a God grant peoples wishes....
Some time later...
We follow Emily until she rests on a bench in a near by park, or more so I force Leon to follow Emily alongside me.
"So, what is this going to accomplish?" Leon asks.
"I got an idea." I say, taking out my phone and dialing Emily's phone number.
I look over at Emily, as I put the phone to my ear, hearing it ring. By the third ring I see her take out her phone and answer.
"H-hello?" She greets with a few sniffles.
She's been crying?
"Hey, Emily. What's up?" I ask innocently enough.
"Uh, nothing, just out." She replies vaguely.
"You okay? You sound off."
She silent for a few minutes. "It's nothing."
"Doesn't sound like nothing. Are you trying to quit smoking?" I ask.
She giggles.
"Listen, whatever it is, I'm here to listen. Why don't we meet up, okay?"
"Really?" Emily sound surprised.
"Hell yeah." I say. "Where are you?"
"I'm at the park, across the street from the bookstore." She says, sounding a little hopeful.
"I'll see you in a few minutes." I tell her before saying goodbye to each other.
And with that I tuck my phone back in my pocket.
"Now what?" Leon says, arms crossed.
"You're going to use your powers now by making that guy come to this park." I tell him but it sounds more like an order.
Leon tiredly says, "You a real pain, you know that?"
Then unexcitedly, lifting his other hand, he snaps his fingers.
I sigh with relief. "Thank you, Leon."
He confusedly looks over at me. "Why are you thanking me for someone else's sake?"
"Because if someone I know and care about is upset, hurt or stressed, I will do what it takes to help, especially when I'm here to witness it, even if I didn't have a god to grant wishes, I'd still do what I can." I tell him.
Leon stays quiet.
Eventually, we see the man Emily was with earlier enter the park,
All right, let's hope this goes well. I think to myself.
"Emily?" The man says, spotting her on the bench.
