Riley's POV
I'm sitting at home, lounging on the couch, when someone knocks on the front door. I groan and get up. I fling open the door, and James is standing there.
"Oh, hi James." I say awkwardly. He doesn't respond, but hugs me.
"I'm so sorry I hadn't come by!" He pleads. I laugh at how serious he is.
"Calm down James!" I tell him. "My mom told me that you had been busy."
"How've you been lately?" He asks. I take a deep breathe.
"Um, good...yeah..." I trail off.
"I understand." He says.
"No I'm fine. Just adjusting back." I tell him. He nods.
"So, have you heard anything on Josh?" He asks.
"A bit. He'll probaly be charged with abuse." I tell him. He nods again. I take a step closer to him.
"My mom also told me that you miss me." I giggle. He turns away.
"Did she?" He says quietly. I giggle and step another towards him.
"Yeah, she did." I say. He looks at me. He runs his fingers through my hair, tucking it behind me ear.
He takes a step towards me and leans in. I lean in too. Our lips are nearly touching when the front door opens. Emily steps in.
"Oh! Was I, um, interrupting something?" She says awkwardly.
"No." We say at the same time, stepping away from each other.
