Not Right Now

Emma didn't want to be rude, but she also didn't want her butt touched by her Uncle. Accident or not, she wasn't ready to risk it happening again. If her Uncle wasn't a total creep then he would understand.

Uncle Edward seemed to not be a total creep. He gave Emma a curt nod and said, "Well then, I'll leave you to it Emma. Maude will have that tea up to you in just a moment, I'm sure. If you need anything at all, please don't be afraid to ask."

With that he turned and made his exit. Emma feared she may have offended him, but rationalized that surely her Uncle understood. In fact, she was probably just picking up on his embarrassment, not offense.

Emma decided to take in her surroundings until Maude brought her that tea.
