There was comfort that Emery received from Logan's touch. From his insistence that he wanted the two of them to work as well. It made her feel foolish to think that disappearing on him would have been the best thing to do. Her heart was already too far gone to leave Logan and not feel the pain and emptiness that would go along with his absence. This, being here with him and choosing to stay with him, it was so much better. She didn't think she would be relieved to make that decision with anyone, but she felt it in that moment with him.

At his assurance that he would love for her to call work and inform them that she wouldn't be able to take the extra flight after all, she smiled up at him and nodded. "Let me make that call really quick then." Placing a brief kiss on Logan's lips, she pulled away to make the call that would allow her to stay home. Once that was done, she tossed her phone to the side and returned to him. "I'm all yours now." She wrapped her arms around him and sought the warmth and comfort of his body.

At his words, Emery shook her head slowly. Of course, she didn’t have to notice, she knew she was the one doing this. His question had her biting her bottom lip, brow furrowing slightly, “No... not any more than usual... although a couple of people did quit.” Although, they both knew that losing only a couple of people wouldn’t have made Emery’s schedule increase as much as it had recently. Her eyes tracked Logan’s movements as he stepped closer to her. It was the strangest feeling to want him so much closer, but to also want to run. There was a mix of comfort and fear, and it had nothing to do with him ever doing anything wrong, as he hadn’t. She wasn’t even bored, she loved Logan.

Therein lied the problem. She loved him, even if she hadn’t said those words out loud. Loving someone meant that she was liable to get hurt so much worse. It was always easier to do this, begin to make herself unavailable until she came home to an empty house. Her heart was racing as she looked up at him. “It’s not all about work,” she replied in a hushed tone. “This... this is something I still want. It’s just...” It was just that she didn’t believe relationships lasted, that people would end up heartbroken and alone, moving from one high and low to the next. “I’m scared, and I know you’ll think it’s stupid, but... I am.”
