"I swear I wasn't doing anything, Caden..." Emily said quickly, fearful suddenly. The man took one look at the gun, scoffed, and left
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Are you okay? He didn't . . . he didn't do anything, did he?" Caden interupted, turning the safety back on as he put the gun in his pocket.

She shook her head, suddenly trembling and taking a step back. "I swear I wasn't cheating on you, I promise..." She said quickly, voice shaking and pleading
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Cheating? What? No I know you wouldn't just--is my car okay?" He asked, running a hand down his face.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Yeah, It was a joke, I didn't do anything, I swear" She said fearfully, backing up before hurrying into the house and hiding in their room
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Em---hey!" He called, darting after her. "Emily, what're you doing?"
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't do anything, the car is fine" She rushed out, eyes wide in fear and her hands trembling
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"What do you keep apologizing for?" He asked after a moment, still confused as he took a step closer.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
She took a step back, hands out, palms forward in a defensive position
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Emily, i'm not going to hurt you, just tell me what i'm doing that you're scared of." He pleaded
