Play the Femme Fatale

After Tegan left, Emma hopped over to your side and hugged your arm, leaning her head on your shoulder. "It's so nice to have you back... And I like this. Just you and me like it used to be."

You looked down at her and smiled, "yea. I mean, things are a bit different now, but I get it. Speaking of different, how about you? Are you interested in anyone?"

A small smile crossed her lips, "I do. He's cute, a bit clueless, but dorky. I love him. I think I always have. There are some complicated circumstances, but I think we can work through them. We're meant to be together. That's what this week has confirmed for me."

You couldn't help but feel jealous; this was the first time you were hearing about this guy! "Oh, I see. How is it complicated?"

"Well, he's married." She said, her breathing a bit quicker.

"Emma, come on. Don't do that to yourself. You deserve someone who can commit to you." You rubbed her arm and tried to reassure her. She'd had her fair share of bad boyfriends in the past; you were hoping you could talk her down from this one.

"Oh, don't worry; he doesn't love his wife. I mean, I'm sure he thinks he does, but I know him better. He loves me. I think he always has. He just chose wrong, but I think I can get him back on the right path," she snuggled closer to you.

That didn't sound like Emma... Maybe she was a bit drunk? You looked down to speak to her again when your eyes met hers. She brought her hand to your cheek, caressing it. "You're so clueless sometimes, John."

"What? What are you talking about?" You were confused... Did you miss something?

"Don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll meet him eventually," she laughed before pulling away. "Maybe sooner than you think depending on the way the rest of the night goes."

"What does that mean?"

"Who can say?" She winked. "Say, John, if I said I wanted you to do something for me, no matter how crazy it sounded, would you do it?"

"Well, yeah. Even after all this time, you're my best friend. I've got your back," you tried to reassure her, though you didn't know where this was going. Did it have something to do with her married mystery boyfriend?
