Emily was half listening to Elias' explanations, and half trying to stop crying in the middle of the lawn. This whole situation was all so embarrassing, was anyone watching them? Was she getting looks? The sobs were settling but the tears just wouldn't stop. Elias was at least trying to apologies and she was just being a horrible person wasn't she?
"... I-I'm s-sorry..." She shakily got to her feet, looking around and wrapping her arms around her shoulders. She licked her lips a couple of times to many, why did misery have to be so delectable? "... I... I'm s... sure your probably a n-nice guy... b-b-but I'm just... t-too r-receptive right n... I... I need t-to... need to g-go calm d-down... f-for a little while..."
Once her knees stopped shaking, Em glanced down and took her book from Elias. "I-I'll... I'll be nice... and let you t-try again later..." She wiped some of the tears away from her eyes and clutched the book to her chest, a final sob sending a quick jolt through her spine. "Just... Tell Lei when y-you're ready... A-and we'll arrange something... A-And you can not f-force me to fight y-you..."
She turned away and began to timidly walk down the path, holding her book in front of her face to try and hide the streaks running down her cheeks. Suddenly she stopped and turned back for just a moment. "... A-And... M-My name is Em... Emily... I d-don't know if I-I told you..."
@"Emy"
