This was what she was most afraid of giving him false hope when there isn't any for them, Emily couldn't possibly picture herself to be with another man she just couldn't.
Her mind and heart still belongs to the man who was no more but she couldn't forget and didn't want to, his memories were too precious to be replaced.
To her Simon was simply a very good friend like he had always been nothing more nothing less for them.
" I'm sorry Simon I can only be your friend...." Emily said straightforward for him to understand whatever he was doing she was well aware of but didn't want him to have any idea about them being together one day.
" It okay...I understand I just want you to know whenever you change your mind I be here waiting and if that day comes then can your first consideration be me.." Simon said with hopeful eyes as if her words meant nothing.
" That day won't come" Emily mumbled looking at Simon with helplessness.
