Ben knocks on the door

Emma sits on your bed, head busy with thoughts. What had she done? The guilt and shame was already starting to weigh heavy on her chest. Had she broken something precious with her momentary madness.

A *knock* sounded at the door to the bedroom. Cautiously she got up to answer it, she knew it could only be one person. Indeed as she answered it, there he was. Ben stood looking concerned in the corridor.

"Listen Emma, I'm not sure what happened tonight but I know it will cause problems. So I just wanted to let you know I am not going to tell Tom or anything. And I won't try anything again" he splurted out. He seemed desperate to have it all said.

"Thank you for saying that Emma. I think I need space to think tonight about what i tell him. We both clearly got swept up in something" Emma replied. "I think it best I not see you for a while, okay?"

Ben's head bobs slowly as he nods. "Yeah I understand that. I will see you around" with that he walked off leaving her stood at the open door.

It could have been worse she thinks, at least he is being reasonable. And he said won't deliberately ruin things with Tom by telling him. Closing the door Emma returns to the bed to wait for you.
