Emily never needed someone to walk into her life to save her, to teach her, to need her. She never wanted someone to either.
Until he walked into the bar, and she couldn't ever imagine not needing that again.
I wake up the next morning with a thudding behind my eyes and a vague memory of karaoke the night before, after an unhealthy amount of shots.
"Morning sweetheart"
I roll over onto my back and look over to the bedroom door, where Nate stands dressed only in a pair of shorts, his hair perfectly messy on top of his head and a mug in one hand and a cold glass of water in the other.
"Morning" I rasp out, sitting up slightly and tying my hair back from my face.
