It was early morning.
Scott stood by the front door with his hands buried in the pockets of his gray sweatpants.
His eyes were locked on Emma, who was standing in front of him with her big suitcase in hand.
She wore a fashionable black jumpsuit that fit her perfectly and brought out her attractive curves. Her brown hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail, and her lips curved into a soft smile as she gently cupped his cheek with her hand.
Scott sighed.
"You've gotta admit, you enjoyed the last two weeks as much as I did. Don't tell me you're really gonna go back to Metro City now."
Emma tilted her head and her smile widened as if she found his reluctance endearing.
"Scott…"
She sighed but kept her tone patient.
"We talked about this last night."
"I know, I know…" he muttered and looked away.
Her thumb gently brushed his cheek as she continued.
