Chapter 7 by Faustus Faustus

Break Contact?

Yes

Whether she needed human contact or not, this was not the kind she had in mind. Pushing her grabby Uncle away, a bit shocked that he had squeezed his own niece's butt, Emma tried to stay calm and said, "Yes. I'm sure, but you can't just go-"

Edward must have known she was about to scold him and cut her off. "Oh! That was just a bit of teasing. I'm truly very sorry, Emma. My sense of humor is a bit much at times, and I fear I may have overstepped some boundaries in my attempt to take your mind off of things and cheer you up. Please, forgive me."

Emma had to admit that the grope had indeed took her mind off of her loss for a moment. "It's OK, but please, let's just stick to jokes that don't involve grabbing my butt." Emma said, deciding not to push the issue.

Her Uncle looked sincerely remorseful when he said, "Of course, Emma. I really am sorry. It was a bad idea."

Aunt Maude had returned from the kitchen now so Emma changed the subject. "Thank you both so much for having me. I think the time with family is a great idea."

Her Aunt nodded, "Of course, Sweetheart. Now is no time to be alone. One should be surrounded by family in times like these." She then gave Edward a quick nudge with her elbow, "Grab that suitcase and let's get Emma settled in."

Emma followed her Aunt up the creaking stairs, her Uncle, suitcase in tow, right behind her.

"Here we are, Honey," Aunt Maude said, stopping at the fist room to the left of the stairs. "This was Jake's old room. He'll be by come the weekend, he's at school right now. But this room's yours, he can stay on the couch if he stays the night."

Aunt Maude pointed across the hall. "That's the bathroom. The two rooms down the hall are the twin's. Jenny's is that one," she pointed to the room next to the bathroom, "she still has the bunk beds if you get too lonely and don't want to sleep in Jake's room alone. The room across from Jenny's is James'. Jimmy and Jen are around here somewhere, but why don't you relax first, then we'll worry about them come suppertime. The tea is steeping. I can bring you a cup in a minute. In the meantime, feel free to make yourself at home."

Emma thanked her Aunt, then took her suitcase from Edward without making eye contact and thanked him too. Then she went into Jake's room and closed the door.

What's next?
