He was a bit cold during our first meetings but then later he warmed up to me.We have made an unbreakable bond.
"So what is your answer Peter,yes or no?"
Before Peter could answer my phone started ringing. Anticipation turned into anxiety.Peter's eyes grew a shade darker as if though he knew something.
The Air filled with uncertinity as Peter tensed up.He knew what was coming and knew it was something bad.Tyler sensed it to as his eyes gleamed with worry.
"Hello."I muttered as picked up the call.
"Hello,Am I speaking to Emily Richardson?"A grufy voice questioned.
"Yes.This is Emily Richardson.How may I help you."At this point Peter's eyes were fixed on me.What did he know that I didn't?
"I'm calling to give...."but Peter snatched the phone from my hand and he started whispering something.I strained my ears to listen but I could only catch the words "It's Peter." "No....""tell her."
Something was terribly wrong but what could it be?What could've drained the colour out of Peter and make him tense?Apparently Tyler was wondering the same.
He came closer to me and whispered the words."Brace yourself, this looks serious."I just nodded.
Peter glanced at my direction and said,"Tyler could I have a moment with you in my study."I was puzzled.
"Sure" he said just as confused and followed Peter.What could they be up to?My heart pulsed as it ran to rush blood to all parts of my body.Should I follow them or sit here and wait for a bomb to drop.Against my better judgement I followed them to Peter's study.
Peter shut the door as soon as Tyler went in.It must be really serious if he reacted like this.Peter was usually calm and composed.A job requirement you see.He was patient but something shook his core for the second time.After two long years.What could it be?
My curiousity got the best of me as I leaned my ear against the door.Come on....something....... anything....there was dead silence and then Peter began,"You look a lot like my son,except for your eyes,they're brown his were blue."
"I don't know what to say..."He was at a complete loss of words.
"You also seem to care for Em."
"Well I just started today,to forgive myself and to try and be friends with her."
"She is a daughter to me.The only women who broke my defences and made me soft again."
"Same here.She made me realise the truth."
"So your only friends?"
"From my side absolutely.Her side...I don't know if she has truly forgiven me or not."I did you deaf dimbo.
"Why does she have to forgive you again."Oh no.I swallowed hard as my brain knew what would happen next.
"Well....Emily and I didn't really start off on the right foot."That's one way of saying'I am friends with a psycho who tortures her'
"I'm listening."Peter please stay calm.
"Well...er.....um.....when your son was ...you know alive he was dating my best friend's sister,....who I had feelings for."
"Uh-huh."
"And the day she heard that he died.....she comitted suicide and her father died as well.....It was a hard pill for chris to swallow and a hard blow for me as well....While you blamed yourself for your son's death I did the same for hers."
