Kaylee: You haven't gone on a date since.
I swallow hard.
Kaylee: Something is up. Whatever it is, I'll support you. But you can't keep pretending nothing happened.
Emma: It's just awkward with Vinnie.
Kaylee: It's never been awkward before.
Emma: This is different.
Kaylee: I know.
Emma: Can we not do this now?
Kaylee: No, Em. We have to do this.
Emma: Or?
Kaylee: Or nothing. I'm still coming home. We're going to find a place together. Then we're going to marathon Disney movies and stuff ourselves stupid with chocolate chip pancakes.
Emma: Good.
Kaylee: I'm prodding because I love you and I don't like seeing you hurting.
Emma: I'm not.
Kaylee: You are.
Emma: I miss when we were talking about Hunter.
Kaylee: Promise you'll get help and I'll drop it.
Emma: Can you just drop it?
Kaylee: Not until you promise.
Emma: Okay. I will.
Eventually.
She's quiet for a minute.
Deciding if she believes me.
Or thinking about telling Brendon.
Or planning an intervention.
Something.
My shoulders relax as my phone buzzes with her reply.
This is okay. Normal. Good.
Kaylee: He is really hot.
Emma: Stupid hot.
